The renewal of Isco’s contract at Real Betis is proving to be complex, according to his manager. Isco’s performance has been exceptional, garnering satisfaction from the Andalusian team. With 17 appearances, 3 goals, and 3 assists across competitions, negotiations for his contract extension have begun, but challenges persist.
Isco signed a one-year contract, set to extend automatically for an additional year upon reaching 25 appearances of 45 minutes or more in the season. While his earnings aren’t notably high, bonuses tied to goals and assists are included. The agreement also features a €10 million buyout clause if another club wishes to acquire the midfielder from Malaga.
Real Betis officials aim to revamp the deal, offering improved annual earnings while maintaining bonuses. Simultaneously, they seek to raise Isco’s release clause to secure his tenure. Isco’s manager emphasized their counterproposal and urged Betis to honor the player’s requests. Despite this, all involved parties remain optimistic about reaching a final agreement. Isco himself seems content in his new team, showcasing glimpses of his former prowess on the field.
