Betis could receive between 4 and 5 million euros for the sale of Nobel Mendy, according to Matteo Moretto. The Senegalese defender is in the sights of Rayo Vallecano and Hull City, which have intensified contacts for his transfer.
What happened?
Betis incorporated Mendy in June past after exercising the option to buy for a amount close to 3.5 million euros. In that operation, the white-and-green club secured 20% of a future sale of the player.
Why does this matter for Betis?
Mendy's departure to England is imminent, according to Moretto. The negotiation is around 20 million euros fixed plus five in variables, which would mean for the Andalusians an injection close to five million euros.
What comes next?
Betis would receive approximately four million euros for that percentage and would have to add the corresponding compensation for training rights since the player spent two years in the white-and-green youth academy.
The Senegalese defender signed for Betis from Paris FC, the club where he formed as a player. With Betis Deportivo, he achieved promotion to Primera RFEF, while with the first team, he reached matches in the Conference League that culminated in the first European final in white-and-green history.
During his loan to Rayo, he played 28 games and scored two goals. Again, the Conference crossed his path, reaching a new final where the Madrid team fell by the minimum against Crystal Palace.
Betis currently occupies the fifth position in the league, with 46 points, 11 wins, 13 draws, and 7 losses in 31 games. The goal difference is +7. The team is 33 points behind the leaders Barcelona.
