Revolution at Betis: massive farewell after the last match

Real Betis Balompié

Saturday will not be just any match at the la Cartuja stadium. Beyond closing the season against Levante, the Betis fans are preparing to say goodbye to several players who, for better or worse, have been part of the latest verdiblanco project. An afternoon of farewells, applause, and some held-back emotion is coming.

The most symbolic case is surely that of Adrián. The veteran goalkeeper, at 39 years old, ends his contract and everything points to him putting a final stop to his second spell in Heliópolis. He hasn’t had much protagonism this season, but his figure has always conveyed that sense of belonging much loved in the verdiblanco world. One of the “homegrown” players who always adds in the dressing room.

Ricardo Rodríguez and Bakambu will also say goodbye. The Swiss fullback arrived to bring experience, although injuries and inconsistency have not allowed him to settle as Pellegrini had hoped. The case of Bakambu leaves mixed feelings: the striker had moments where he seemed to connect and others where he completely disappeared. Even so, he leaves having contributed important goals and leaving the impression of being a beloved player within the group.

Sofyan Amrabat

Another player who practically has his bags packed is Sofyan Amrabat. The Moroccan will return to Fenerbahçe after finishing his loan. At Betis they were delighted with his level and commitment, but his salary is completely out of market for the verdiblanco economy. He has been one of those players who leaves a good memory even if they have stayed a short time.

Ezequiel Ávila
340.000€+10.000€    5

Then there is the case of Chimy Ávila, probably the most striking. He has a contract until 2027, yes, but the club is studying executing a clause to terminate the remaining year. The Argentine never fully fit in, caught between injuries, lack of continuity, and performance well below expectations. He arrived with that intense character that seemed made for Villamarín, but the story has not ended up working.

Nelson Deossa

Although these are the clearest names, the summer promises a lot of movement. There are players with market value like Deossa, Altimira, Natan, or Abde who could leave if a strong offer appears. Especially the case of Abde, which we already told you about in Abde has English suitors and could get married this summer to one of them.

123

Lo Celso
10.230.000€+100.000€    -

Junior Firpo

Then there are cases like Lo Celso or Junior, from whom much more was expected this season. Injuries have too greatly influenced the performance of both players, and the coaching staff is studying whether they should put them on the market.

In short, Betis faces another summer of rebuilding. Nothing new for Heliópolis. But before thinking about signings and rumors, this Saturday it’s time to say goodbye to several players who, each in their own way, already form part of the recent verdiblanco history.
