Manuel Pellegrini is on his way to having nightmares to complete a defense of guarantees. The bad news of Marc Bartra’s serious injury has been added to the already short quota of defenders that Real Betis has. The center back will be injured for several months, leaving the team with only two center backs from the first team after the sale of Luiz Felipe.
Problem for Pellegrini, since right now and with two competitions the only options available are Germán Pezzella and the young Chadi Riad. In addition, the green and white coach also has Youssouf Sabaly out of action, further weakening the rearguard.
An old Betis goal returns to the scene
The Benito Villamarín team declined the option of signing a free agent after the departure of Luiz Felipe. However, now the urgency is total and the offers to the green and white sports management are pouring in.
According to Football Insider, Betis has received the option to incorporate an old desire of the Andalusian club. Is about Malang Sarr. The French footballer was already linked to Betis at the time, but ended up signing with Chelsea FC.
Sarr has not finished settling in at Stamford Bridge, after two loans to Porto FC and AS Monaco, respectively. This season the Frenchman has not yet played minutes for the Blues. In fact, he has only played a handful of games in the last three seasons.
However, the option can fall quickly, since Betis will not be able to incorporate Sarr until January, since he still has a current contract with Chelsea.
