Already inside the summer market, the Chilean coach reminds Cordón of his signing for midfield
We are officially in the summer market and the technician of the Betis, Manuel Pellegrinihas agreed to Antonio Cordon his signing for midfield. As there are several that the southern coach has requested, he was precise and showed him the name of one of the free agents that will be most in demand during this month and part of August.
We talk about Malaga Isco Alarconwho has said goodbye in style to all the fans and all the workers of the real Madrid. The last game he played Meringue set at the Santiago Bernabéu, it was the perfect setting for the creative midfielder to put an end to a 9-year career in the white jersey.
Antonio Cordón gets down to work to bring the signing that Pellegrini wants at Betis
The sports director had already been working on the Malaga midfielder’s operation, but now that they are in the right period, they will speed up the machines to close the deal as soon as possible. One thing is clear and that is that the player will arrive at zero cost, unless he asks for a signing bonus. The other point to resolve is his salary.
When Isco was part of the Madridista club, his last salary was 12.7 million euros per year. Now, the Betis player who won the most in the previous season was Nabil Fekir with 6.8 million euros. We are talking about the fact that the ninth best-paid player in Real Madrid (Isco) earned almost double what the best paid player in the Verdiblanco team received.
Isco’s salary could be a problem and the signing of Pellegrini would not reach Betis
As we are talking about a footballer with quite outstanding conditions and very remarkable characteristics, not to mention that he comes from playing 9 years in one of the best teams in the world, the offers he has on his agenda are many. This means that the midfielder can afford to impose his own salary and there will be a club that pays it.
For sure, the heliopolitan club will not be the one that meets the player’s economic demands since that would unbalance the wage bill. On the other hand, the midfielder could make an exception and reduce his salary somewhat, but the reduction would have to be 50%, something that is not currently in Isco’s plans.
