In a surprising turn of events, Ricardo Rodriguez, the former AC Milan and Torino left-back, has reportedly agreed to sign with Real Betis, a Spanish outfit, on a two-year deal. This development comes after Everton was linked with the 31-year-old free agent, who was also being pursued by other clubs.Rodriguez, who helped Switzerland reach the quarterfinals of Euro 2024, has been weighing his options after leaving Torino at the end of last season. According to Italian journalist Fabrizio Romano, Rodriguez has reached a verbal agreement with Real Betis and is expected to sign a contract until June 2026.This news may come as a disappointment to Everton fans, who had hoped to see Rodriguez join the Blues. However, it’s clear that Real Betis offered a more attractive deal, and Rodriguez has decided to take his talents to Spain.Everton has been active in the transfer market this summer, signing five players, including Jake O’Brien, Tim Iroegbunam, Iliman Ndiaye, Jack Harrison, and Jesper Lindstrom. Manager Sean Dyche has expressed his desire to “stretch” the club’s finances to bring in more players before the transfer window closes.While Rodriguez’s decision may not be what Everton fans had hoped for, the club remains committed to strengthening its squad and competing at the highest level. As the transfer window continues to unfold, it will be interesting to see what other moves Everton makes to bolster its roster.The signing of Rodriguez would have been a significant coup for Everton, given his experience and quality. However, the club must now look elsewhere to strengthen its left-back position. With the new season just around the corner, Dyche will be keen to bring in a suitable replacement to compete with the existing options.
