At the beginning of this market, the Real Betis had to slow down the exit of Edgar González. Several First and Second clubs asked about the Catalan after his good season on loan at the Oviedo and seeing that he could run out of place in the Verdiblanca squad. However, the Verdiblanco club closed the doors to the Catalan defender’s departure for the time being, as they preferred to wait for how the entry and exit market evolves, since it can pull the player both to reinforce the central position as a pivot.
That versatility is key to understanding that Édgar could continue to have options to remain in the Betis 2021-22 squad, although everything would depend on his performance this summer and the movements in the last days of the transfer period.
Stay this course
According ABC, good attitude and aptitude, work ethic, conditions, youth and versatility have convinced Pellegrini to count on his services and make him one more element of the team’s defensive structure. In fact, the Chilean coach has already used him in the back axis in several preseason matches, given the physical problems that Marc Bartra has dragged, to the point that he has consolidated himself in defense by pairing up with Victor Ruiz in the first two days of LaLiga, in Mallorca and against Cádiz at Benito Villamarín.
In this way, Betis will have Víctor Ruiz, Pezzella, Bartra and Édgar as figures in the central axis for the three upcoming competitions (League, Europa League and Copa del Rey). Sidnei, with a contract in force for one season with the Heliopolitan entity, does not enter into the coach’s plans and a way out is sought, as confirmed by his environment. If a destination is not found for the Brazilian, and right now there is none, it is very possible that the contract will be terminated because, among other reasons, his token will be destined to Pezzella, who last Monday began training with the team and could already have his chance in next Saturday’s clash against Real Madrid at the Benito Villamarin.
