Bhatti will initially join the team-B setup to help him adapt to his new environment. Should he impress the coaching staff, the forward will be considered for integration into the first team, with the potential for a permanent deal.
Born in Côte d’Ivoire to a Pakistani father and a Liberian mother, Bhatti’s journey in football began with his move to the United Kingdom, where he graduated from Richmond International Academy. He then played in Spain’s lower league (Primera RFEF) with Fuenlabrada before earning his move to Rayo Vallecano.
Bhatti’s mother, Jarzoe Bhatti, expressed pride in her son’s accomplishments, saying, “I’m really glad and sure of Botta’s quality. He is a kid who believes in himself and will make a name for himself. We will decide on the next stage of his career together.”
