At the end of May Aissa Mandi said goodbye to Betis and the club did the same, wishing her all the luck at Villarreal. More than two months passed without the landing in Heliópolis that is destined to replace the Algerian. It is not a secondary piece that Manuel Pellegrini's roster must complete, but rather a priority asset and that must be a starter in his scheme in the face of the difficult scenario that the technician in that position currently has in hand. The club made several moves, but the economic situation fiercely conditions each attempt to shore up that position for the next year.
Pellegrini is already looking at the start of the League with improvisation as an unexpected letter. In his last friendlies he tested Edgar and also the youth squad Kike Hermoso. Both have a filial file, although the former has more experience after his course on loan at the Oviedo. With Victor Ruiz as untouchable, the Chilean is looking for his companion for the start of the championship before Marc Bartra's physical doubts and little confidence in Sidnei, who could leave in the coming weeks. Meanwhile, the technician crosses his fingers so that the sports management finds the formula to bring in some of the centrals that have his approval. The last to approach the Verdiblanca entity is Lyanco Vojnovic, which throws constant winks to be signed despite the negotiation between the Torino, his current club, and Betis, continues to have many edges.

One of Pellegrini's express requests was to get this piece as soon as possible so that he could enter into his training dynamics with a view to the start of the League.. Now, he will try to convince the club to at least be here at the start of the season. The coach is aware of the difficulties of the market and also envisions a scenario with more pieces from the quarry to be able to multiply his resources when facing three competitions. Quite a challenge that needs, at the moment, a central that lives up to expectations.
