Report: Real Betis close to Didac Vila loan

Real Betis are reportedly close to acquiring the services of AC Milan defender Didac Vila on loan.

The 24-year-old, who has previously played for Espanyol, is reported to be keen on a return to Spain's top flight.

According to Football Espana, Vila's representative Raul Verdu is in Milan this afternoon to finalise a move to Betis, who will play European football next season.

Vila came close to joining Valencia in a similar agreement last summer, but the full-back failed a medical.
