Hurrying. As happened in summer with The Celso Or just a year ago, in the winter market last season 23-24, with Fornals. Until Last hours From the last day of the January souk, the … Sports address of Real Betis To incorporate into the desired front that came to complement Vitor Roque and Bakambu And, above all, to alleviate the pressing lack of goal that the first Verdiblanco team has demonstrated in the first months of the 24-25 championship. Without going any further, in the last official duel against Athletic Club, in addition to Antony’s good debut, the only winter reinforcement until then, the Congolese had a hand in hand against Unai Simon who threw out of a cross shot on an occasion too clear for the possible 2-0, just before Adrián failed in a corner thrown by Berenguer to the first stick in the next play, in which walls marked with the upper part of his back 1-1. It was an occasion that evidenced again existing problem in the opposite goal. Hence, after in the previous days it was given by discarded the option that a Left sidewould definitely bet on the attacker.
In yesterday’s edition of ABC of Seville It was already reported that, given that several interesting options had fallensuch as that of the Portuguese Beto, from Everton, the Verdiblanco club moved on stage to exhaust to all the possibilities for that long -awaited attacker to be signed until practically the Last hours of the signing market Winter, on a day that, mainly in the afternoon, was again frantic. At the end of the day, happy ending. Betis announced the signing of the striker Juan Camilo ‘Cucho’ Hernándezand in this way, with the Spanish-Colombian and the incorporation of the Brazilian Antonyit was left The winter souk closed For the Heliopolitan entity, after the Departures In the last month of Assane Diao -Sholstered as Italian for 11.5 million-, Rui Silva -Cedido with a mandatory purchase option of Sporting from Portugal worth 4.5 million euros, plus another ‘kilo’ in variables- and Juanmiwhich went on loan with a purchase option to Getafe until the end of the season.
The name of Cucho It was advanced by Alfinaldelapalmera.com In the early afternoon yesterday, after the operation, whose first contacts occurred a few days ago, according to the information of the Verdiblanca Information Web portal of this newspaper, but which was resumed with enough force so that it could crystallize having having having In mind the time change with the United States in the early hours of Monday, after the league match against Athletic. He Betis and Columbus Crew From the United States MLS finally closed the transfer of the former Watford player, the English team had it on the Spanish LaLiga in El Huesca, Mallorca and Getafe, in an amount that will be around the 13 million euros. The striker, from 25 yearssigns a long contract, until 2030. An important commitment to a player who had a good step in Spanish LaLiga between 2017 and 2021 after the British team signed him since he emerged in very young age in his country. In 2022 it was transferred for 10 million euros. Only two years later, in 2024, he was chosen as the second best player of Major League Soccer, surpassed by Messi, hence its value has grown up to 13 million.
The figure for the transfer to Betis has gone so high since the Colombian striker ends his contract with the US entity in December of this year 2025, but Columbus Crew could unilaterally expand this link by two more years, until 2027. Also, because the American team did not want to lose the investment made at the time.
It is expected that Cucho Hernández arrives in Seville on the next days to join the Verdiblancas ranks. I was in Palm Beach making the preseason with Columbus Crew, with which I was going to start competing in a couple of weeks. Now he will join Betis’s ranks to reinforce the team in this second league section although It cannot be registered for the Conference since the three places are awarded to Fran Vieites, Isco and Antony. Cucho is community when having the dual Colombian and Spanish nationality.
The operation will involve an investment of thirteen millions of euros for a player who can have a greater route by having only 25 years. The Verdiblancos have recently sold to the Rodri Canteanos (8 million) -it is in the last winter market -Assane (11.5) and the Portuguese Rui Silva (4.5). He profile of cucho in attack is interesting for the present and the future of Betisas considered in the Sports Commission, given that It is not clear that Bakambu continues next year and Nor do Vitor Roque do it after his first year of assignment from Barcelona.
In their Two and a half seasons as a player of Columbus CrewCucho Hernández has played 94 official matches Among several competitions, including the MLS and Concacaf Champions Cup, in which the remarkable figure of 58 goals. Of course, the American championship is not among the most important in the world.
Haro: “An investment that is worth it”
He was the president of Real Betis, Angel Harowho valued the arrival of Cucho Hernández And also the arrival of Antony and the exits of Iker Losada, Juanmi, Assane and Rui Silva in different formulas, practically at the time the market was closed. On the signing of the Colombian, Haro said that “we are satisfied Because reinforcing the front was a aim. (Cucho) was a player very dearboth for the coaching staff as for the Sports address It is one investment. The goal is paid very expensive. Cucho is a Contrasting, young player, who can contribute a loteither. It was the option ‘A’, the one we preferred. We had assignment options that have not convinced us, cessions. We could invest what fit. There has been virtually nothing of the available limitsomething that has been possible thanks to the departure of some players, ”he said.
Without left side or Álvaro Valles
HE hill therefore the Betis winter market with the In additions of Antony and Cucho Hernández and Without reinforcing the left side. Nor was the arrival of Álvaro Vallesthat rejected a good proposal at the last minute of Aston Villa de Monchi. The corner kept his word given to Betis and will arrive in Heliopolis Free from July.
