There have been speculations about Luiz Felipe's potential return to Betis since his departure. Negotiations were ongoing in the autumn for the termination of his contract with Al-Ittihad, with Betis in the horizon. However, to prevent his return to the club that received a significant sum for his transfer, Al-Ittihad included a clause in his contract termination to prevent him from returning to Betis until at least 2026.

Luis Felipe wants to end his contract with Al-Ittihad to rejoin Real Betis. The 27-year-old Brazilian transferred to the Saudi club for 22 million euros in the 23/24 season but hasn't met expectations. He seeks a return to a familiar environment under Manuel Pellegrini, which benefits both him and Betis, who need experienced players. Felipe is ready to accept a lower salary out of respect for Betis.

Luiz Felipe, who had joined Real Betis in 2022 on a free transfer and established himself as a key defensive player, was sold for 22 million euros in 2023. Following a brief period in Saudi Arabia with Al Ittihad, there is a possibility that he might terminate his contract, which would make him a free agent. This development could pave the way for a return to La Liga, particularly to Real Betis. The club has shown interest in re-signing him due to injuries affecting their defensive lineup. It is suggested that discussions could progress more rapidly depending on the injury situation within Manuel Pellegrini's squad.
