Nabil Fekir could leave Betis Sevilla shortly. For an unexpected destination.
Some have already returned, like former Liverpool captain Jordan Henderson. Others are frankly asking questions, like Karim Benzema and Aymeric Laporte… and yet Saudi Arabia remains clearly attractive. To the point of being on the verge of attracting a new renowned player into his nets.
The player in question is none other than the French international Nabil Fekir, more than ever courted in the Saudi Pro League if we are to believe the information from Foot Mercato. Two Saudi superpowers would be in the running, both supported by the famous PIF (the public investment fund of Saudi Arabia): Al-Hilal, where Neymar plays, and Al-Nassr, Ronaldo’s club.
A year ago already…
Having become captain of Betis Sevilla, Nabil Fekir has been playing in Andalusia for almost five years since his departure from Lyon. He played 146 matches there, scoring 28 goals and providing 27 assists. Now aged 30, the person concerned has not been spared from injuries over the last two seasons and could be tempted by a final lucrative challenge. An offer of 20 million euros is mentioned. Just a year ago, however, Betis and its French leader declined a great Qatari offer from Al-Sadd.
