These are good times at Betis. To the great sporting situation that the Verdiblanca entity is going through (third in the League, classified in the Europa League and with a high level of play), joys in the offices are added. And it is that Sergio Canales, third captain of Betis after Joaquín and Guardado, will follow wearing the green-and-white shirt until June 2026. In addition, he will have a termination clause of 1,000 million euros.
Through a funny video published on their social networks, in which various journalists and football narrators appear, Betis has announced the renewal of the Cantabrian midfielder. Canales is leaving behind the injuries that have weighed him down in recent times and is once again decisive for Manuel Pellegrini. So much so that he is once again among the candidates for selection.
With this contract extension, Canales will be 35 years old and will have worn the Verdiblanca elastic for 8 years. Canales spoke to the club’s official media to assess its renewal: “The date of December 14 could be tattooed on me. I am happy, content, with a tremendous illusion because this is where I want to be. Everything happens for a reason. Twelve years ago I scored the first two goals of my career with Racing. The path has brought us here. It has been long. I feel lucky and very happy. “
In addition, the Cantabrian highlighted the ease with which an agreement was reached: “It was easy for both parties. There was going to be no problem. I know that I have to improve and continue to grow as a player and as a person, because neither the club nor I have limits and you have to be ambitious. I’m going to give everything here for a long time so that Betis is always as high as possible “.
