The hardest setback for Fekir

There were many focuses that were placed on Didier Deschamps' squad list with a view to the next European Championship. Also at Betis they looked askance at a list in which Nabil Fekir finally did not enter, world champion with his team in 2018 and one of the French coach's favorite attackers. The player thus suffers one more setback in the midst of doubts: he did not show his best version of the game on the pitch in recent weeks and his goal of being with his team was left behind. And out of the corner of the eye, a future of uncertainty for this coming summer.

Not only Fekir receives a setback in his plans. Also Betis, which sees an opportunity escape for the player to increase his value in the next national team tournament with a view to a possible sale. It will be a complicated market in Heliópolis due to the economic crisis that the club is suffering and the name of Nabil Fekir is presented as one of the options to reduce the salary level of the squad and also carry out a sale of a certain level. The desire to find capital gains, yes, seems to become a utopia. The Frenchman did not comment on his plans and in a recent interview with this newspaper he insisted that this need for the club should not imply his forced goodbye.

Fekir was one of Pellegrini's most decisive pieces at the start of 2021, but his campaign closing is being very irregular and for this reason numerous questions are being opened in the club about his future and the real demands that are placed on him. It is by far the highest salary on the campus and in Heliópolis they expect a qualitative leap almost forced immediately.
