La Liga
Adrián San Miguel will not continue at Real Betis next season. The green and white club has decided to close this chapter and activate a new plan for the goal.
The departure of the Seville goalkeeper forces Manuel Pellegrini to reorganize a key position. The coach has always defended having three goalkeepers on the squad.
Adrián San Miguel ends his second spell at Real Betis
Adrián returned to Real Betis with evident emotional baggage. He was back at the club where he trained and began his professional career. His return was seen as a story of belonging. After years in England, the goalkeeper was back home with experience, authority, and a clearly defined role.
He didn't come to be undisputed. He came to compete, help the team, and provide security in a demanding season. However, Real Betis understands that it's time to look in a different direction. He is no longer part of the plan for the upcoming campaign.
The Real Betis goal will be in the hands of Valles and Pau López
Adrián San Miguel leaves a significant gap. Pellegrini wants three options, and the club will have to decide how to complete that structure. Álvaro Valles and Pau López will continue unless an unexpected turn occurs. There is moderate satisfaction in Heliópolis with both, but the competition will remain fierce.
Valles has an advantage due to his potential and current form. Pau López, on the other hand, brings experience in LaLiga and knowledge of the Betis environment. The challenge will be to find balance. Real Betis will compete in a demanding schedule and cannot afford doubts in such a sensitive position.

Manu González gains strength as an alternative in LaLiga
The name of Manu González is gaining prominence. The young goalkeeper, just 19 years old, is highly regarded within the Betis sports structure. The idea is not to hinder his development. The plan would involve alternating between first-team dynamics and the reserves to accelerate his competitive maturation.
This formula would allow the club to fill the third spot without going into the market. It would also reinforce the message of trust in the academy. In Spain, more and more clubs are looking for internal solutions to fill specific positions. Betis could follow that path with their young goalkeeper.
Adrián San Miguel bids farewell with respect and an open future
Adrián San Miguel leaves after playing an important role within the team. His leadership was appreciated by coaches, teammates, and directors. At 39 years old, his future is uncertain. There's no confirmation of retirement, but his departure from Betis marks a turning point.
The club loses a respected figure. But it also frees up space to renew a position that will be crucial in the upcoming LaLiga season. The move fits into a broader planning. Betis aims to remain competitive without escalating costs and with carefully measured decisions.
Adrián San Miguel closes a special chapter in Spain, connected to the Betis sentiment and a career built with patience, professionalism, and character. Now Real Betis must decide if they definitively bet on Manu González or seek another profile. The only certainty is that Adrián San Miguel will no longer be the third goalkeeper.
