Betis keen on Barca starlets

Real Betis are hoping to sign Barcelona hotshots Gerard Deulofeu and Marc Bartra, reports Estadio Deportivo.

Los Verdiblancos are looking to add more bodies to the squad as they prepare for the Europa League campaign, and they are exploring the possibility of making loan signings as well.

Despite losing the race to sign Bojan Krkic, Real Betis still hold excellent relationship with Barcelona and that could help them sign two very talented footballers.

According to Estadio Deportivo, the Estadio Benito Villamarin outfit are hoping to sign Gerard Deulofeu and Marc Bartra on season-long loans.

Even with a number of La Liga sides also keen, los Verdiblancos believe they can win the race for the players’ signatures.

While Marc Bartra has played some La Liga football last season, Gerard Deulofeu has largely impressed playing for Barcelona B in Segunda, but this is his chance to finally experience top flight football as well.
