SportingPedia sources shared that there is no clause for a permanent transfer included in the agreement, ensuring that Beltrán will return to Fiorentina’s Artemio Franchi Stadium at the conclusion of the campaign.

Having not featured in either Serie A fixtures or the Conference League under the guidance of coach Stefano Pioli, Beltrán found first-team opportunities restricted so far this season. As a result, Fiorentina have opted to send him on loan, as he was not part of Pioli’s current plans for the squad.
