Manu Fajardo: «There is nothing to indicate that Vitor Roque will not finish the season at Betis»

Manu Fajardo was clear when answering all the concerns that Betis fans have been showing about a possible departure of Vitor Roque. The Brazilian's name has been mentioned and strongly argued, even by the president of Palmeiras, who has wanted to make public her desire to sign the attacker, but for this to happen not only must Barcelona agree, but Betis, as the owner of his rights until June, must receive compensation, understanding that his departure would cause a serious problem in the forward line, where only Bakambu and Cucho Hernández would remain, even though Antony, who has fallen off his feet, would also arrive to reinforce the side.

Fajardo said in the preview of Getafe - Betis and always in front of the microphones of Movistar TV that "there is a lot of noise from abroad about Vitor Roque. The world of football is very changeable , but there is nothing to indicate that Vitor will not finish the season at Betis," said the Betis sporting director, who even before achieving victory spoke of the good feelings shown by Betis in previous matches. "The truth is that yes, we come from a positive dynamic, we have managed to get through the knockout stage, excited about what is to come, but everything depends on getting a good result here, winning and continuing on that upward line," he stressed.

The head of the Betis sports management also wanted to analyse Antony's arrival and impact on the squad: "In the end, a job very well done by the sports management, by all the dependent departments, and we are reaping the rewards with Antony. It doesn't surprise us, we spoke with the lad several times before his arrival and when you know his hunger and desire, it doesn't surprise you."

The Betis sporting director showed even more confidence in the arrival of Jesús Rodríguez , who he said was well tied down by the green-and-white team, who as ABC de Sevilla published in September maintains a clause of 50 million euros, something unprecedented in the entire green-and-white youth academy: "Jesus is well tied down, we must continue taking steps, he has a long career ahead of him and we must accompany him in this process," he alluded. Aware that Juanmi has already been playing for Getafe since the last winter transfer market, Fajardo alluded to the good relations he maintains with his namesake at the Coliseum: "We have a very good relationship with Rubén (Reyes), he is doing a splendid job at Getafe, now it is time to enjoy Juanmi, an excellent person and a great professional."
