A plan with Fekir at the helm

Nabil Fekir has his mind in a new season as a green-and-white despite the fact that many focuses of this transfer market will again point to his figure. He did not sign his best campaign at Betis, but he did display some of his virtues to be one of the participants in the European ticket achieved for the coming season. The idea is clear at the Verdiblanco club: keep the player in the squad and make him one of their references for the next season. All this at the expense of a high-flying offer reaching Heliopolis.

Manuel Pellegrini also has the French as one of his pillars for the upcoming season. He wants the Frenchman to deliver an even higher level in his project and wants this to be a challenge for the footballer himself, who suffered a setback by not being called by Didier Deschamps for the Euocopa dispute that began yesterday. Fekir wants to continue being important in LaLiga and so far he did not show a clear desire to make a leap to another team. Yes, there are arguments that question this alliance: he is the player who earns the most from the squad and the club wants to lighten his salary bill due to his delicate situation and the limits imposed by LaLiga. There are teams pending from the attacker, such as Arsenal, but the offers tested are far from the amounts that Betis intends to enter for the goodbye of one of its best players.

“In no club in the world there is a non-transferable player if succulent offers arrive. For us, it is a cornerstone to have it and keep it, if someone wants to come for it, they will have to pay a lot of money. “This is the position of Antonio Cordón, Betis sports director, when asked about Fekir's future. Caution with any movement, but before more attractive options emerge, the plan is to have the player as one of the important pieces of the new project led by Manuel Pellegrini.
