La Liga
The return of Juanmi to Real Betis Balompié has not been the dream scenario for the player or the fans. After overcoming several injuries that kept him off the field last season, the Malaga forward rejoined the team hoping to regain his best form. However, under the management of Manuel Pellegrini, his role has been minimal at the beginning of this season.
Juanmi has been one of the least utilized players by the Chilean coach, who appears to not include him in his usual lineup. The competition in Betis' forward line is fierce, with players like Chimy Ávila and Vitor Roque holding key positions. This has left Juanmi with few opportunities, sparking rumors of a possible exit in the upcoming winter transfer window.
A departure is on the table
The Verdiblanco club, aware of the situation, may be considering the sale of the player in January. The possibility of earning a million for his transfer and, above all, the need to reduce the wage bill in a squad that aims to remain competitive, point towards Juanmi's departure.
Although the forward was crucial in previous seasons, his current role within the team has significantly decreased. It seems that if the situation remains unchanged, his future could be away from the Benito Villamarín in search of more playing time and prominence in another club.
