Real Betis will not sell Benat Etxebarria on the cheap
President of Los Verdiblancos revealed that the in-demand midfielder will only be allowed to leave if they receive an astronomical offer in exchange for his services.
Benat’s extraordinary season in Real Betis colours have not only put him on the radar of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Vicente-c36001 Del Bosque but also in the eyes of interested clubs, with Atletico Madrid leading the chase for his signature.
It has been reported in Spanish media circles that an offer over 10 million Euros will be sufficient to entice the Andalusian club for negotiations.
I his recent meeting with press representative, Real Betis president, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Michael-c25261 Guillen, put dark clouds on any future move. The executive stated that they will do their best to keep Benat at the Benito Villamarin.
However, he added that they will only consider a stratospheric offer for his services as they consider the 25-year-old as the cornerstone of their resilient team.
The main reason for Real Betis’ reluctance is their battle against administration woes. The club will have to put aside 25 percent of their receipts for the creditors, bringing their total income down by a large share.
A 10 million Euros sale will add a net 7 million to their coffers, a small monetary gain for their prized asset.
Guillen also took out time to talk about the contract negotiations with Iriney http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Santos-c32532. The Brazilian midfielder’s stay in Andalusia is at its end with an expiring June 30 contract and no sign of a renewal on the cards.
The tireless midfielder has already rejected the first offer from the Seville-based club but the President stated that he is optimistic about his stay. Guillen stated that encouraging comments have come from the corner of the midfield orchestrator despite
the rejection of their offer.
The Betis supremo also shed light on the economical gains Los Verdiblancos will receive from their first ever preseason tour out of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/China-c8926.
He stated that they will net around 1 million Euros from their two week trip in the Asian nation, and allow them to reduce their preseason costs while enjoying the best conditions.
Guillen added that the club are also looking to finding alternative scenarios to bolster their brand image and improve their finances.
