As expected, Zinedine Zidane saw the youngest of his children leave Madrid to join Betis Sevilla, where he hopes to play more…

The Zidane family is a little more fragmented again. Another child of the 1998 world champion has indeed decided to leave the Spanish capital. After Enzo Zidane, close to ending his career after six years of moving through clubs, and Luca Zidane, who has been playing at Eibar, a club in the Basque Country, for almost two seasons now, Elyaz Zidane, the youngest of the siblings, has in fact decided to turn his back on Real Madrid, where he studied for more than a decade.

At 18, the left side signed up with Betis Sevilla hoping to play more. Real Madrid U19 player, the native of Marseille was in fact reduced to the bare minimum by his coach, Alvaro Arbeloa. Enough to push him to leave the Merengue club and join the Andalusian club, where he will initially play with the reserve team, resident in the fourth division.

Elyaz Zidane will have the heavy responsibility of forgetting the young Senegalese Nobel Mendy, promoted to the first team by Manuel Pellegrini in order to compensate for several absences. A trajectory from which the son of Zinedine Zidane, present this Wednesday in the premises of Betis Seville to accompany his younger brother, hopes to draw inspiration from. But first of all, the one who celebrated his 18th birthday on December 26, wants to play in order to stay in the good books of Jean-Luc Vannuchi, the coach of the French U19 team, who will compete in the Euro in the category next July.

With Elyaz Zidane gone in turn, there is only one Zidane left in the Real Madrid squad: Théo Zidane, who plays in midfield with Castilla and has been entitled to a few call-ups with the first team in recent weeks without nevertheless coming into play.
