Andrés Guardado, the legendary Mexican midfielder, is about to enter a new stage in his football career. After seven seasons at Real Betis and an impressive seventeen-year track record in European football, Guardado has agreed a full contract with Club León to return to his home country.
Next Sunday will be a bittersweet day for Betis fans, as Guardado will say goodbye to them during the confrontation against FC Barcelona at the Benito Villamarín. It will be an emotional moment for the player and his fans and will mark the end of an era at Betis.
According to Mexican press sources, Club León will pay around one million euros to Real Betis for the transfer of Guardado, who, at the age of 37, will also secure a contract bonus and an annual salary of two million dollars, as well as other bonuses. In addition, Guardado will have the opportunity to develop personal projects in Mexico, which is undoubtedly an additional attraction for his return.
They opened the doors
Real Betis did not put any obstacles in the way of the departure of the beloved player, who informed the directors a few days ago of the offer he had on the table. Although the transfer market in Mexico closed to players playing for national teams on January 9, the window for those arriving from abroad remains open until February 1, allowing Guardado to complete his long-awaited return.
