Real Betis prepares the sale of Diego Lainez: All about his future

After Mandi's departure to Villarreal, Real Betis need to shore up the defense. To this must be added that Manuel Pellegrini does not have Sidnei in his future plans, unless reinforcements do not arrive. For this reason, Real Betis must look for several signings in this summer market that improve defense.

For this, the White and Green club must sell some other player to pay for these operations. It is here when Diego Lainez appears. The 21-year-old Mexican player arrived at Real Betis in January 2019, for an amount close to 14 million euros. Diego Lainez has played a total of 59 games for Real Betis, scoring 2 goals and distributing 6 assists.

Very scarce figures for an offensive player for which the Andalusian club disbursed a large amount. Therefore, two and a half years later, Diego Lainez still does not demonstrate in Seville the reason why Real Betis made such a risky bet with him. Its quality does not go unnoticed, and it has the quality of unblocking matches at will, but this must be added to its great irregularity.

Diego Lainez is concentrated with the Mexican team in Tokyo, ready to represent his country in the Olympic Games. After a great debut, where the Mexican team beat the French team 4 goals to 1, the Olympic Games can be a great showcase for Diego Lainez to show his worth. Real Betis looks forward to the young Mexican's games, hoping that he will show why so much money was paid for him, and hoping that a good offer for the young attacker arrives.
