The winter market that opens this Tuesday on the 2nd promises to be moved to a Betic key, both in the chapter of reinforcements and in possible departures.
Manuel Pellegrini He already has his first signing, Johnny Cardoso, midfielder for Internacional de Porto Alegre, but it may not be the only new one. There will also be an exit because Betis has to sell. And the Betic quarry could be the star.
Assane Diao, at 18 years old, is wanted by the Premier League, Brentford is the club that is putting the most pressure: they have offered 25 million for the Spanish-Senegalese striker, an operation that will be evaluated by both parties.
If his departure is over, the sale of Assane may be equivalent on the biggest transfer of a youth squad made by Betis so far: Fabián who went to Naples for 30 million of its termination clause. By Assane for Brentford He has gone up from 20 to 25 ‘kilos’, not ruling out that he will increase his offer to get the Betic ‘pearl’.
If the Andalusian club has accepted Brentford’s second offer, Assane would have equaled the second highest sales of a youth player, which was Joaquín to Valencia in the 2006-07 season for 25 million euros.
