Real Betis statement on the signing of Isco

Confirming his arrival to the club, Real Betis put out a statement on their official website which reads: “Real Betis Balompié has incorporated Isco Alarcón into its ranks.

“The Malaga footballer is committed to the Verdiblanca entity until 2024.”

Reports indicate that manager Manuel Pellegrini wanted him as he found him a viable addition to his squad.

The midfielder had previously played under Pellegrini at Malaga between 2013 to 2016.

He made 82 appearances for the Spanish side, scoring 17 goals and providing 10 assists across all competitions.

Isco Alarcon becomes Real Betis fifth signing this summer, having already signed Hector Bellerin, Ayoze Perez, Marc Bertra and Marc Roca.

He made 19 appearances for Sevilla, scoring 1 goal and providing 3 assists before he terminated his deal with the club.

The Spaniard has won several trophies in his career including; 5 Champions League titles, 3 La Liga and 4 FIFA Club World Cup.

Real Betis, who finished 6th in the La Liga last term will be competing in the Europa League and they will be needing experience in the competition.

They will also be aiming to qualify for the UEFA Champions League in the coming season.

Real Betis couldn’t keep up their early impressive momentum during the 2022/23 season

Los Verdiblancos began the previous season with great steam but they lost form as a result of fatigue and squad depth and this affected the club.

The 31-year-old left Real Madrid in the summer of 2022, after nine years at the Santiago Bernabeu.

Isco Alarcon scored 53 goals and provided 57 assists in 353 appearances for Real Madrid.

The move might come as a shock to many, seeing that he has penned a deal with city rivals Sevilla.

However, given his acrimonious exit from the Ramon Sanchez-Pizjuan, it is not surprising that isco doesn’t have any loyalty to Sevilla.

Isco has made 38 appearances for Spain, scoring 12 goals and providing 6 assists across all competitions.
