On Tuesday, his agent, Andre Cury, went public regarding the &#8216;Blaugrana&#8217; interest in the defender.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;It is true that Barcelona are interested in signing Natan, but we have not yet received any official offer,&#8221; confirmed the agent. Cury is a familiar face in the Catalan capital, having played a pivotal role in the landmark deal for Neymar, as well as the transfers of Keirrison and Vitor Roque.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Despite the interest, there is still significant ground to cover before a formal approach materialises. &#8220;Barcelona have not spoken to me directly, but they contacted the Real Betis board to express their interest in signing Natan this summer. If Betis receive an advantageous offer, I believe the transfer could go ahead,&#8221; Cury added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Natan, 25, arrived at Betis in 2024 for nine million euros following a stint at Napoli and has since flourished into one of the LaLiga&#8217;s most dominant centre-halves. During his time with the &#8216;Verdiblancos&#8217;, he has racked up 97 matches over two seasons and remains under contract until 2030.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Andre Cury, representative for the Brazilian centre-bac [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":2429,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2428","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dxtynews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2428","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dxtynews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dxtynews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dxtynews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dxtynews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2428"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/dxtynews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2428\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2430,"href":"https:\/\/dxtynews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2428\/revisions\/2430"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dxtynews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2429"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dxtynews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2428"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dxtynews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2428"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dxtynews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2428"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
