Nabil Fekir, focus on the return

Betis returns from their holidays and today the medical tests will begin on their squad. There will be many absences due to pending commitments and late returns, but many spotlights will be on the figure of Nabil Fekir, whose future was filled with questions at the end of last season and yet he is called to continue under Manuel Pellegrini. So, for the moment, the player and also his coach expects it, aware that it is one of the most important pieces of his scheme at the offensive level.

The green-and-white club received no offers for Fekir so far this summer. Antonio Cordón, sports director of the Betic team, has already warned that to take the Frenchman they had to put a lot of money on the table. It is perhaps the biggest brake on a hypothetical goodbye from the player. There are no non-transferable items in the current squad, especially if a large transfer somehow decorates the current coffers of the club, but the idea of ​​coach and player is to build a new project together in Heliópolis with the added incentive of that qualification for the Europa League .

Fekir knows that he can make a qualitative leap in his performance in LaLiga and that Pellegrini can be his greatest ally for this. He also dreams of returning to the French team after the blow of not having been able to play this Eurocup and that challenge is on the table when it comes to continuing in a championship as competitive as the Spanish one. His salary is a difficulty for the Verdiblanco club, but he also tries to have an understanding on both sides for this season so that the parties can be satisfied. The succession of movements in the market, which will arrive in the coming weeks, could reactivate the interest of some clubs in a footballer who made a difference on the pitch in this last season but also left clear ups and downs.
