Internacional de Porto Alegre, a Brazilian club in which Sidnei Rechel was formed before making the leap to European football, has just signed Bruno Méndez, a 21-year-old Uruguayan central defender who played for Corinthians, so the doors of his ex The team, which had shown interest in repatriating the Real Betis central defender, is closed for the moment.
Sidnei, who will be 32 years old in August, does not enter into the Verdiblanco club's plans for the next season and a way out is being sought, since he still has one more year on his contract, since he signed for four seasons when he arrived in the summer of 2018 from Deportivo de La Coruña, for just under 4 million euros.
Sidnei is in his country waiting to reach an agreement with Betis for his departure while at the Verdiblanco club they want it to be through a transfer, although to date there are no offers to consider, so surely the footballer must rejoin next Monday, July 5, to work with the Verdiblanco squad, which after the pertinent medical examinations will leave for Switzerland on July 7 to carry out the first pre-season stage.
The Chilean coach Manuel Pellegrini, for this first stage, has only mentioned a central from the subsidiary, Kike Hermoso, he has last season with Bartra, Víctor Ruiz and Sidnei and could also pull Edgar, who used to play as center and advanced his position to the pivot of the hand of Rubi, and returns from a year of fruitful cession in Oviedo, where he has almost always played pivot in midfield.
