This latest acquisition highlights Betis’s commitment to bolstering its reserve squad and future first-team prospects as Alonso inks a long-term deal lasting until 2029.
Borja Alonso: A Technical Midfield Dynamo from La Fabrica
Born in Gran Canaria in 2004, Borja Alonso has built a reputation as a technically gifted midfielder capable of influencing the game both centrally and on the wings. Last season, under the tutelage of Raul Gonzalez, Alonso featured in 17 matches for Real Madrid Castilla, delivering 4 assists and demonstrating excellent ball control, chance creation, and attacking versatility. His ability to operate as an attacking midfielder on either flank or centrally makes him a dynamic asset[1][2].

His three-year contract, valid until 2029, reflects the club’s confidence in his potential to grow and impact the team’s future[1][2].
Upon signing, Alonso expressed his excitement: “This is a huge opportunity for me, especially with all the support I’ve received here. I’ll give it my all to help the club and improve as a player. I believe I can bring a lot to the team. This will be a season of big achievements and successes—I’m confident we’ll go far.”[1]
Strategic Reinforcement of Betis’ Youth System
