Patson Daka is on Real Betis’ agenda for the winter market in case Fekir leaves
Real Betis is having a complicated season with Fekir. The one who until recently was the mainstay of the green and white club on the pitch is rumored to be leaving very frequently. And since he returned from his injury, he hasn’t been the same. The French playmaker seems clear that he will go to Arabia and at Villamarín they have set their sights on Patson Daka.
The Zambian player was a viable option for the 13-man club when Chimy Ávila’s situation became complicated this summer. Since wearing the Leicester FC jersey he has been on Real Betis’ agenda and the team hope to be able to use his services at some point. All It will depend on what can happen with Fekir this summer.
Fekir and Borja Iglesias can open the door for Patson Daka at Real Betis
Fekir’s case is not the only one that the Andalusian club is trying to solve. For Patson Daka to gain access to Villamarín, another attacking player will need to emerge as Real Betis have also signed Bakambu and Chimy. However, he didn’t sell William José or Borja Iglesias and they don’t all fit into Pellegrini’s system.
Therefore, you have to walk first to get inside. And Betis has four strikers and several other wingers in the squad. Although they are on loan like Juanmi or Borja, they still belong to Heliópolis. Therefore, the Zambian will only move to Benito Villamarín if several attacking players are released from the current squad.
William José a problem for Pellegrini
Manuel Pellegrini wanted to trim down his squad this winter market and get rid of some players who didn’t contribute anything to the team. The clearest example among them was the Brazilian William José. No exit option was set and the player was not considered even if he was the only striker in the team. The Chilean coach no longer wants to see him dressed in green and white, but he is still part of the unit.
Another case is Borja Iglesias. The Galician is expected to be reunited with his best version in Germany but remains the property of Betis. That’s why he will return to Seville. Pellegrini is betting big on the striker but wants him to get back to his level. Of course, if Xabi Alonso’s team shows interest in the player and decides to exercise the purchase option, no one will refuse.
