The Chilean coach wants a footballer for the center of the green and white field
Pellegrini insists on Real Betis in the need to sign a midfielder in January to balance the team. With the option of Alex Fernandez somewhat cold after his performance slump, the Betis now look towards the Smartbank League. Because in the SD Eibar, one of the strongest candidates for promotion, there is a player who likes a lot Cord.
The sports director of the Betis he has between his eyebrows a footballer who is playing at his best level in the SmartBank League. A player who was already on the list of Real Betis last summer, but that he finally decided to remain in his current team despite losing the category.
Álex Fernández’s option loses strength
Likewise, the fact that his importance in the team has fallen this season has also had importance in the dismissal of Álex Fernández. And it is that, after years being untouchable for Álvaro Cervera, now he has lost importance in the yellow box.
In fact, it has become common to see him come off the bench, something that does not make Álex Fernández happy. But neither to Real Betis, who sees how the player has lost his place in the eleven of a team, a priori, inferior. That is why they are already looking for another goal.
Pellegrini gives the ok to Betis
That is why, faced with this situation, Real Betis has reactivated its interest in Edu Expósito, who is performing at a high level in SD Eibar. In fact, he is one of the best players in the category, standing out with 4 goals and 3 assists spread over 15 games despite being a midfielder.
Also, at 25 years old, he is at an ideal age to take a leap in his career. A jump that could take him to Real Betis, which could offer up to 5 million euros to get his signing in the summer market, although they will have to negotiate with his current club, since he has a contract until 2024.
