He Real Betis and Como are finalizing on the afternoon of this Saturday, January 4, the negotiation for the transfer of Assane to the Italian team for 11.5 million euros for 80 percent of the rights of the 19-year-old footballer. The player is in Huesca on the bench for the match that the Verdiblancos are playing against the Huesca team corresponding to the round of 32 of the Copa del Rey but the operation is about to be closed, in the absence of the final details, and it is expected that I can travel to Italy in the next few days.

The negotiation has progressed very seriously since the beginning of the year and Assane’s entourage already told Alfinaldelapalmera.com that the operation was “very well on track.” Negotiation sources now point out that the agreement must be closed shortly and this will happen if there are no interferences that are not expected in these decisive hours.

The pact includes Assane signing with Como until June 2029 and becoming the key to Betis’ following operations in the January market, which include preferences such as a center forward, a right winger, a left back and a midfielder

Assane broke into the Betis first team from the reserve team last year with three goals in his first days and then had a phase of less continuity and now regained his place in Pellegrini’s rotation, with an outstanding goal in extra time of the match against the Barcelona that served to sign the final tie.

Como has bet heavily on Assane, after testing another Betic youth player like Rodri in the summer, and its coach, Cesc Fábregas, has convinced the footballer to be able to undertake an operation that leaves complete capital gains in the Betic coffers since he is a youth player. and that Betis is in the 1:1 norm so it can reinvest whatever it wants in the planned additions in this market.
