Giuseppe Rossi to return to Spain?

It's being reported Real Betis are interested in adding Beppe to their roster in the January window.

Interesting report that Giuseppe Rossi may be loaned to Real Betis in January by Fiorentina.  This would make some sense inasmuch as:

(a) Rossi's injuries resulted in him restructuring his contract with Fiore;

(b) he's been a bit player with Fire in the league (9 matches, 330 minutes, no goals)

(c) ex-Fiore man Joaquin is now with Betis.

On the other hand, Rossi has got to be happy in Florence (who wouldn't be?) and he has even received awards befitting a civic figure.  Oh, and there are rumors Liverpool want him for €25m, which would be (a) weird (b) a nice return for Villarreal since I'm sure we put some sort of clause in his transfer giving us a prt of subsequent proceeds.

A few folks suggested Villarreal could get him on loan, which would be interesting but he doesn't really fit our style of play now, does he?
