Betis seem to be in the best position to sign the former Boca Juniors player Dario Benedetto, who could leave Ligue 1.
Benedetto's opinions has been key. The Argentinian player wants to go to a team which has European aspitations. That has led to him choosing Betis over Elche.
'AS' explained that Betis are close to getting hold of the striker so Elche have started to look for other options upfront, without naming names.
Apart from attacking signings, Elche had focussed on Ruben Rochina, but the former Blackburn and Levante player's high salarial demands could make his transfer difficult.
