Real Betis to snap up €9 million flop from Stuttgart?

Real Betis are reported to be interested in Pablo Maffeo who's currently out in the cold at VfB Stuttgart.
VfB Stuttgart full-back Pablo Maffeo has drawn interest from Real Betis, Mundo Deportivo reports.

The Bundesliga club are understood to be willing to let Maffeo leave on loan this month after he has slipped down the pecking order at the Mercedes-Benz Arena.

"There are a few inquiries. But everything has to fit - for us as well," Stuttgart sporting director Michael Reschke recently told Bild.

Stuttgart paid €9 million to sign Maffeo from Manchester City last summer. At the time, Betis also wanted the 21-year-old, but he ultimately went to Germany. Now, he could possibly end up at Betis after all.

Maffeo has made nine appearances for Stuttgart.
