Zidane, imminent signing

Trained at Real Madrid since the age of seven, Elyaz Zidane is the fourth and last son of Zinedine and Véronique Zidane. A left back by training, the young man, now eighteen years old, is still with Madrid’s young shootouts, but he is starting to get impatient with the meager playing time allocated to him. As the month of January began, he had only two small starts in twenty-one days, with the U19s. Enough to make him want to go elsewhere. And he would have found a new anchor point.

According to information collected and revealed on Sunday by Relevo, Elyaz Zidane is about to head to Betis Sevilla. The Spanish media reported that the plan was as follows: join the reserve team of Verdiblancos, in order to continue to progress and move as soon as possible to the first team coached by Manuel Pellegrini. A win-win choice, as the Betis defense needs reinforcements. It could even be that the youngest Zidane goes directly to the first team box, the media said.

Play to stay with the Blues

Elyaz Zidane has a profile which is similar to a defender already present among the young people of the Sevillian team, in the person of Nobel Mendy. He can thus play in the center of the defense, as well as on the left side. Winner of a Euro with the French U17s, Elyaz Zidane is aiming for another success in the selection, this time with the U19s during the next Euro. But to have his place, he is well aware that he must find more playing time and this imminent departure to Betis would be a good option for him.

After nineteen days of the championship, Betis clings to an interesting seventh place. But at the same time, the situation remains worrying for him since he has not won in La Liga for six days, he who remains on four draws and one defeat. He was also eliminated by Alaves this Saturday, in the round of 32 of the Copa del Rey. We now have to wait for the officially announced as very close in Spain.
