The current sports director didn't last a year in the Bética discipline. And right now the one from Lérida has a juicy offer from Arab football that he can't refuse and Ángel Hato completely understands that.
It was on May 1st when Ramón Planes signed his contract as Betis' new sporting director and it will be mid-January when he leaves for Saudi Arabia. Sources close to the Betico club report that the sports director has a multi-million dollar offer that cannot be refused. Even Ángel Haro understands that the proposal is very tempting and that he can do little or nothing.
Of course, they made a counteroffer, but it turned out to be useless as it is quite difficult to achieve what they are offering in Arabia, and even more so given the current economic situation of the green and white team. So Ramón Planes is preparing to leave for Al-Ittihad Jeddah Club, a team chaired by Mansour al-Blouwi and the Argentine Marcelo el Muñeco Gallardo.
The numbers in the contract that Saudi Arabia offers Ramón Planes
Furthermore, the Arab team's offer even doubles and triples what the Lleida manager currently earns in the Heliopolitan team. But specifically, the team in which Karim Benzema plays is offering a three-year contract with which he will earn 8 million euros net. That means you gain 2.6 kilos per year.
The most striking thing for Planes is that it will also make money by achieving goals and can therefore bill almost 3 million euros per season. In addition, Al-Ittihad will pay the Catalan's clause set at 500,000 euros. Therefore, the numbers are quite outrageous and Betis will not be able to reach this amount as it is practically a footballer's salary.
Betis' fears of Ramón Planes' departure to Saudi Arabia
It is a fact that the Verdiblanco sports director will definitely move to Arab football and the Bética board cannot do anything about it.. However, there are now fears that the former Barcelona player will take one or more players with him, namely those he himself brought to the Sevillian club this season.. A fear that makes Haro react immediately.
Let us remember that Ramón Planes was the architect of signings such as Isco, Marc Roca, Chadi Riad, Héctor Bellerín, Abde and Sergi Altimira. He also achieved the continuity of Ayoze Pérez, Manuel Pellegrini's undisputed starter. There is currently no information about departures, but the only thing that is certain is that the former Getafe will leave with his work team.
