Canales, the untouchable piece

Manuel Pellegrini is aware of the economic difficulties that Betis is going through and of the need to find income this summer with a view to rebuilding its squad. He wants new pieces to arrive and that there is a qualitative leap in his group to compete with all the guarantees in the multiple fronts of the next course. But out of the corner of your eye He is also afraid of the possible obligation to depart: cross your fingers so that Sergio Canales continues in Heliópolis in the face of the possibility of offers arriving to the club for the Santander, who signed a spectacular campaign in which he scored ten goals and delivered six assists. Its market value is 20 million euros, but at the moment there were no suitors who went for it.

Pellegrini himself admitted that it will be very difficult for the club to refuse sales if juicy offers arrive for pieces like Fekir and Canales himself. In this sense, movements are foreseen for the next few weeks, although for the moment any interest would move away from the economic pretensions of the club to accept a departure from these players. Canales arrived with the freedom card three seasons ago and found his best version of the game in Heliópolis. He does not think of a way out and has already admitted on several occasions that his sights are set on playing in Europe with the Verdiblanco team.

The Eurocup was a setback in the present of Canales. The footballer had high hopes of being present with the Spanish team in continental competition and his absence invites him to a new starting point for his future with the national team. The Cantabrian wants to start the campaign with the best possible physical tone after closing this course with many doubts and repeated annoyances in the last month. And Pellegrini wants his leadership to continue present in his second project at the controls of Betis.
