Barcelona midfielder Carles Alena is on his way to Real Betis.

AS says Betis have reached an agreement to sign Alena on loan from Barcelona for the rest of the season.

There was an option to move to Getafe as well, but Real Betis were the midfielder's first choice.

Alena will move to Los Verdiblancos until June 30 and there is no option to buy in the deal.

Alena joins former Barcelona defender Marc Bartra at the Estadio Benito Villamarin.
