The coach wants to reinforce the Verdiblanca squad for the second round
Manuel Pellegrini has been the architect of the great Real Betis of recent years. A team that last season lifted the Copa del Rey at the Estadio de la Cartuja and has established itself in European positions. In fact, and for the first time in several years, they aim to be ahead of their biggest rival in the Santander League. But the coach is ambitious and wants to continue improving the squad.
That is why, facing the next summer market, has requested the arrival of a new midfielder. A midfielder whom he knows well, since they both share a nationality. Nevertheless, the response from the verdiblanco club has been negativeaWell, they have other plans thinking about the future of the club.
Pellegrini’s request to Real Betis
The player that the Chilean coach would have requested is none other than Charles Aránguiz, who currently plays for Bayern Leverkusen. In the German team, when injuries have allowed it, he has been the undisputed starter. But at 33 years old he has begun to lose prominence and an exit has been considered.
The Santander League attracts the player, who would welcome joining Pellegrini’s project at Real Betis. But now we have learned that this possibility seems more and more distant. Quite the opposite of the option of RCD Espanyol, which at the moment is the great favorite to sign him.
The future plans of Real Betis
The reason why the signing of Charles Aránguiz has been rejected, for the moment, by the Real Betis board is because there is another footballer they are very aware of. That footballer is none other than Dani Ceballos, who has not yet decided what to do with his future as of June.
It will be then when his contract with Real Madrid ends, which also doubts whether or not to offer the player a renewal. Be that as it may, Real Betis will try by all means to recover their youth squad, uniting him with other players such as Guido Rodríguez, Canales or Fekir. Of course, the signing of him could only take place at zero cost, since the economic situation makes any operation impossible in January.
