Antonio Cord, CEO of Real Betis, during his speech in the club’s official media this week, he left a door open in this winter market, which ends on February 1. “You always have to wait”said the Extremaduran, although he then added: “The reality is that in 99.9% there will be no signings.”

The salary limit drowns the Verdiblanco club, which also has all the chips covered, reasons that have definitely kept Sokratis of Heliopolis, since, finally, he will return to his country and sign for the Olympiakos.

The new and definitive twist in the future of the former Arsenal It was advanced by the specialized journalist Gianluca di Marzio. “Sokratis will return to Greece”he announced on his Twitter account. Then, Nicolò Schira, a professional also specialized in the market, pointed out more details: “Deal done!”, Adding that Sokratis It will sign a contract with the Greek entity until 2022 in the next few hours and will charge 2.5 million per campaign.

In this way, Olympiakos wins the game by Genoa, Lazio, Fenerbahce and Betis. The Betis club has always been among the best positioned to take over the services of the Hellenic international, who saw with very good eyes playing in Spain and, specifically, in Betis, but the salary limit and the lack of starts have ended up conditioning the Betis, who see a market opportunity escape to strengthen their defense.

Without a doubt, the option of Sokratis it was one of the most attractive the market could offer. Despite having a high salary and 32 years of age, his separation this week from Arsenal and great experience, made the defender a notable reinforcement, although the Betis has suffered the handicap of the salary limit, a determining aspect that the club will have to solve by closing a sale / s.

In this regard, given the difficulty of signing, the gaze is now focused on the exits, with Sanabria as the protagonist between now and February 1, the date on which this second transfer sale of 20/21 will end.
