There is just over a month left until the January market opens and the sports management, in line with Manuel Pellegrini, must make important decisions regarding the possible outcomes that may occura section directly linked to the possibility of reinforcing the squad in the next window.
For a long time, One of the names that is heard to leave Benito Villamarín is Assane Diao given the interest it arouses in clubs like Feyenoord, which is still very pending after its passage was frustrated at the last minute in the summer period, although His situation under Pellegrini suffers numerous ups and downs and there are moments in which he seems out and others that indicate that he counts in the coach’s plans.
The latter occurred in a phase in which The Chilean rectified his position of considering him a forward and gave him back the role as a wingerwith interesting minutes against Atlético, half half against Athletic, with a good performance with assistance included, and the title against Celje, a match where he was key by enabling Juanmi to give the victory in the extension and give life to Betis in the Conference.
However, it was a mirage, because against Celta, before the break, he did not come off the bench, although The real blow for the Senegalese occurred today, not being considered by Pellegrini as the replacement for the injured Fornals on the right side. On the contrary, He preferred to bet on advancing the position of a recently recovered Aitor Ruibalwho, as a wild card, has returned as a winger ahead of Sabaly, showing that Assane Diao does not have the first ‘plan B’ for his position.
With the game already going uphill, with the score 4-2, The Chilean brought on the youth squad in the 81st minute for Vitor Roque, without much time and in a complicated situation to be able to vindicate himself, a reflection of the current status in the 19-year-old footballer’s squad. This situation once again fuels speculation about the way it will come out in winter in the event that an interesting offer arrives that allows Betis to make cash. It is worth remembering that Transfer market rates Assane at 12 million euros.
Recently, Assane Diao pointed out that any decision will be taken together with the club. “When the markets arrive there is always a lot of talk. In the summer many things were said that were not true, but it is already in the past. I can’t do much, because I’m not the one writing, but people have to know that the club and I always go hand in hand, without making decisions each on their own or behind someone else’s back. “Whatever is done will always be looking for the best for me and for Real Betis,” he noted.
