There are three days left before the end of 2025 and from January, not only does the period open up for first division teams to move their squads with departures and signings, but also for footballers who end their contracts at the end of the year. … season, if they don’t end up leaving on the winter market and don’t have the option to extend their respective contracts, they can negotiate their future with any club. Concerning Real Betis, only three players end their contracts on June 30, 2026, apart from the only loan that the club placed in the hands of Manuel Pellegrini this summer.
Ricardo Rodríguez, Cedric Bakambu and goalkeeper Adrián San Miguel are the players whose contract expires at the end of the season and who are free, from January, to start moving on the market with their agents to continue their sporting career. It is normal that everyone ends up abandoning discipline, even if the three situations are different.
For example, about Bakambu, who is currently defending the jersey of the Democratic Republic of Congo in the African Cup (he scored his team’s goal in the duel against Senegal), on the noble floor of the Cartuja, we would not see it wrong that, among all the parties, we could find, even in the next winter market, a team that would pay him the emoluments that he earns in the Betic team, so that he can release this chip and make room for Manu Fajardo and his work team. – also with the possible departure of Chimy Ávila – strengthen the striker with a nine who competes with Cucho Hernández and increases the level of the position, which with the Colombian is by no means bad.
The normal thing is that Ricardo Rodríguez finishes his contract and leaves for another team where he can continue playing, while with Adrián it would not be at all strange that he renews for another season so that he continues to bring that experience, that seniority and, above all, that Betic venom into the locker room.
Sofyan Amrabat, the only one loaned by the summer market this season, will be talked about in the coming months. What he played, which in reality was little, between the fact that he arrived later and that he suffered discomfort and suffered injuries (without going further, he left injured for the African Cup without playing since November 27 against Utrecht, and now with Morocco he participates in the African continental tournament), he convinced the technicians, the managers and the supporters. ABC published that, given his performance, Betis was studying the possibility of continuing the strategy with Antony with the Moroccan to try to recruit him. But he presents a significant handicap with physical problems. By contract, he must return to Fenerbahçe but his situation will continue to be studied and worked on within the Heliopolitan club.
