La Liga
The future of Juanmi Jiménez seems to be far from the Benito Villamarín. After a summer in which he chose to stay at Real Betis after two loan spells during the 2023/24 season, the Malaga-born forward has not been able to establish himself in Manuel Pellegrini's plans, who gave him an opportunity at the beginning of the season but seems to have lost confidence in him.
Juanmi started the campaign with some prominence, starting in the first two LaLiga matches and achieving standout moments, such as his decisive goal against Celje in the Conference League. However, as the matchdays went by, his role has become more and more secondary, with long absences in the squad lists since late September.
He has lost importance and has no minutes under Pellegrini's orders
In recent weeks, his situation has worsened. Pellegrini left him out of the last two matches, including the Copa del Rey game against Sant Andreu, where he did not play a single minute despite the rotations. This gesture has been seen as a clear sign that the Chilean coach does not count on him for the immediate future.
Facing this scenario, as reported by EstadioDeportivo, Betis' sports management is considering getting rid of the player in January. Although Getafe, one of the interested teams in the summer, has already ruled out signing him, Betis is working to find him a new destination. The decision also aims to free up space in the squad for potential signings in the winter transfer market.
