Reading the Villarreal–Real Betis connection

Cédric Bakambu, Víctor Ruiz, Juanfran Moreno are among the names recorded at both clubs. These are career links: the players need not have moved directly between the two clubs.

The latest year among these records is 2026, for Cédric Bakambu. This is a snapshot date within a career record, not confirmation of the player’s current club.

Use the years to distinguish an early career spell from a later return. A merged year range can span separate spells; consult the underlying record before treating it as continuous first-team service.
