Isco’s season at Betis is going excellently and the club wants to extend his contract as the club only signed him to a one-year deal given the doubts that arose before his signing
After years of being completely forgotten on the Real Madrid bench and a disastrous experience at Sevilla FC, Isco accepted a significant pay cut to get one last chance at Betis. Many doubted his commitment, because the truth is that the level he showed in his last years at the Santiago Bernabéu and what was seen at Ramón Sánchez-Pizjuán did not invite optimism.
A player who was out of shape and seemed to have lost enthusiasm for football didn’t seem like the best offer at all. But everyone who doubted was wrong. Isco has not only reached a good level again at Betis, but he is one of the best Spanish footballers today. So much so that he has already collected eight MVPs in fourteen days.
Renewing Isco is a priority for Betis
Currently, after a spectacular first few months of competition, Renewing Isco is an absolute priority for Betis. In fact, just a few days ago the agreement between both parties seemed very close. However, in the end everything fell through due to leaks that delayed the agreement.
Nevertheless, the president of the green and white club was very optimistic and assured just a few hours ago that the conditions were in place for the footballer to continue to inspire fans with his football. This is not only great news for Betis, but also for Spanish football, because anyway Luis de la Fuente doesn’t give Isco a chanceHe is by far one of the best players in LaLiga.
The salary that Isco asks for an extension from the club
Last summer and after seasons of doubt, Isco opted for a one-year contract and a salary of just one million euros. A salary that, as we learned just a few weeks ago, included a number of incentives for goals and assists. But now he is not prepared to give away so much money again.
Although it is true that he understands that he will no longer earn as much as he did at Real Madrid, Isco has demanded a salary of almost three million euros from Betis. This would make the man from Malaga one of the highest-paid players in the squad, only behind players like Ayoze Pérez or Nabil Fekir, who earn over five million euros. A salary that the footballer considers fair given his current level.
