A 'gray' Mandi multiplies the doubts about its renovation

Aissa Mandi's contract with Betis expires next June and in Heliopolis there is Doubts multiplied over a renewal that seemed sung a handful of weeks ago. This was stated by Antonio Cordón, sports director of the Verdiblanco club, who insisted that the player already had a proposal on the table and that it was a matter of time before the parties agreed. Pellegrini gave his go-ahead and the player has no other wish at present than to improve his contract. The brake, now, appears on the grass: his performance multiplied the doubts at the beginning of the course in which he was a fixed for the coach despite suffering two expulsions in the league.

These unknowns about the lawn can be transferred to the offices. In Heliopolis the current war economy does not allow too many mistakes and therefore the offer to Mandi will be controlled. The Betis trusts in which the central can have a more regular performance and that it elevates it with the passage of the parties. The vision of player is clear: wants continue in Heliópolis if the Pellegrini project shows him guarantees that the team can compete for European levels. The club knows this, which now hopes that the footballer's demands are also consistent with the moment that professional football is going through and his current performance.

Mandi is almost untouchable in Betis' current drawing despite the fact that Víctor Ruiz arrived in the summer to deliver a quality jump to the central position. Pellegrini is confident in the Algerian's potential, just as Quique Setien did three seasons ago when he was one step away from returning to France. The player could negotiate with other clubs from January if in Heliopolis they finally decide not to bet on him. Its market value dropped from $ 20 million to $ 10 in just one year. Betis' options of having found a large transfer due to a hypothetical goodbye is a thing of the past.
