Ricardo Visus Contreras (born 24 April 2001) is a Spanish professional footballer who plays as a central defender for Dutch club Almere City FC, on loan from Real Betis.

Career

Born in Madrid, Visus joined Real Betis' youth setup in August 2018, from UD Santa Marta.[1] He made his senior debut with the reserves on 31 October 2019, starting in a 1–0 Tercera División away loss to CD Ciudad de Lucena.

On 5 October 2020, Visus moved on loan to Córdoba CF, being assigned to the B-team also in the fourth division.[2] On 9 August of the following year, after two first team appearances, his loan was extended for a further year;[3] he also renewed his contract with the Verdiblancos until 2024.[4]

Upon returning to Betis in July 2022, Visus was assigned back to the B-side, now in Segunda Federación. He spent the 2023 pre-season with the main squad,[5] and made his professional – and La Liga – debut on 21 October 2023, coming on as a second-half substitute for Andrés Guardado in a 1–1 away draw against Getafe CF.[6]

On 3 July 2024, Visus renewed his contract with the Verdiblancos until 2027,[7] and was loaned to Dutch Eredivisie side Almere City FC ten days later.[8]
