Pellegrini Poised to Sign New Betis Deal Through 2027

Betis fans can finally breathe a sigh of relief as their beloved manager Manuel Pellegrini is on the verge of extending his stay in Seville until 2027.

The Engineer Extends His Blueprint

According to transfer insider Matteo Moretto, Pellegrini is “totally predisposed to continue” at the Benito Villamarín, with negotiations reaching a successful conclusion thanks to the harmony between the coach, sporting directors, and squad. It’s proper good news for the Verdiblancos, who’ve been on tenterhooks waiting for confirmation.

The only potential spanner in the works? The Chilean national team. Moretto reports that Pellegrini has kept one door slightly ajar - if his homeland comes calling, he might consider the opportunity. But for now, Betis fans can look forward to more of the Engineer’s tactical masterclasses as the club doubles down on continuity and stability.

Transfer Tidbits: Nico Paz Not Coming Home Early

Morette also shed light on several interesting transfer scenarios brewing across La Liga:

• Nico Paz - The Argentine sensation lighting up Serie A with Como won’t be heading back to Real Madrid in January. His buyback clause only activates in June, though Los Blancos and Como are set for talks “very soon” regarding his future. The player wants to complete his Italian adventure before the World Cup.

• Dayot Upamecano - The Bayern Munich defender, whose contract expires in 2026, has reportedly been approached by both Real Madrid and PSG. The Bavarians remain hopeful of extending his stay.

• Conor Gallagher - Atlético Madrid could make a winter move for the England midfielder, with Moretto suggesting that “if an offer close to €30 million arrives, Atleti would consider it.”

Seems like the January window could be a right Bobby Dazzler with these potential moves on the horizon.
