Borja Iglesias’ season at Betis has been full of ups and downs, so the plans of the new Verdiblanca sports management have changed compared to the initial idea
After being on the brink of being part of the national team that went to the World Cup in Qatar, the level of Borja Iglesias in it Betis dropped noticeably. It was a hard blow for the Verdiblanco striker, who was even part of the previous call. Everything seemed to indicate that he would be among those chosen by Luis Enrique, since he started the season at an excellent level.
However, after the disappointment of being left out, his level fell. The second round has not lived up to the great expectations generated and his departure was not even ruled out if a good offer arrived. Nevertheless, Borja Iglesias will continue to be the starting striker for Betis next season, although the club’s plans have changed.
Borja Iglesias forces Betis to shake up the market
In the first moment, Betis was clear that Raúl García would be the second striker of the team after his great season in the SmartBank League. But this possibility seems more and more remote, because at the moment the team’s idea is to incorporate a striker with greater potential so that in the medium term he will be the team’s starter.
In additionBetis is also looking for a way out for Willian JoséWell, they don’t have him for the next season either. That is why, with the current level of Borja Iglesias and with Willian José and Raúl García on the starting ramp, they need a second striker. And we have already known who is the favorite of the club.
The unknown striker that Ramón Planes wants
As we have been able to know in the last hours, Betis has been interested in Zan Zipotnik. The 21-year-old Slovenian striker is a complete stranger to Santander League fans, as this season he has played for NK Maribor. However, his season has been so good that he is more than ready to take the next leap.
Among the many teams that have been interested in his situation, the Verdiblancos stand out. And it is that Betis wants Zan Zipotnik to put pressure on Borja Iglesias this next season to raise the level again. Be that as it may, we will have to wait to see how the transfer market develops, for the moment there is no firm offer to get his transfer.
