Real Betis are in talks with free agent Sokratis Papastathopoulos.
The 35 year-old Greek defender can join Betis in a free transfer after being released by Olympiakos last summer.
The former Arsenal and Borussia Dortmund defender is now in advanced talks with Betis, says AS.
Sokratis will arrive as cover for injury victim Marc Barta.
He will not be able to play in the four Europa League group matches left for Betis, but he will be available for LaLiga and the Copa as soon as he signs.
