Cédric Bakambu leaving Real Betis?

Real Betis was unable to sign a striker as a second signing because Cédric Bakambu refused to leave, despite there being interest in him. Manu Fajardo said that the player's opinion must be respected and also called on fans to support Cédric Bakambu.

According to Marca, Cédric Bakambu has received offers from Saudi Arabia, and the club met with him in recent days to gauge his willingness to accept one of the offers.

Marca reports that negotiations for the departure of Cédric Bakambu are ongoing, and that he has offers from clubs in Saudi Arabia.

Marca reports that Bakambu is one of the names moving in the market. The club's sporting management, led by Manu Fajardo, does not currently have the budget margin to make additions to the squad. If there are no departures to create salary space, there will be no possibility to secure reinforcement for the forward or left-back positions.

According to AS, Betis is seeking a new club for Cedric Bakambú in this transfer window. Bakambú has a contract until next June, and Betis would be satisfied if someone pays what remains of his salary.

According to Marca, Cédric Bakambu is in his last six months as a Real Betis player and will not be given a renewal offer. There are options for Bakambu to leave the club in the current winter transfer window depending on proposals.

Mundo Deportivo reports on the potential departure of Cedric Bakambu from Real Betis. His contract with the club ends on June 30, 2026, and according to the report, from January 1 he is free to negotiate with other clubs. It seems unlikely that Bakambu will continue at Real Betis next season, and he could leave in the winter transfer window if an offer is made that satisfies all parties.

Cedric Bakambu is in his last year of contract and Real Betis is open to offers for him. Recently, he rejected an offer from PAOK Salónica, according to El Desmarque.

Apart from PAOK, Spanish teams are also in the race to acquire Cédric Bakambu.

Betis is open to transferring Cedric Bakambu, whose contract is in its last year. Bakambu is considered a veteran player at 34, and Betis wants to gain economic benefit similar to the recent transfer of Youssouf Sabaly, who was transferred for 2 million euros. Various intermediaries are involved in moving Bakambu.

Cédric Bakambu has expressed his desire to stay at Real Betis and not move to another team this January, including PAOK Thessaloniki. Although PAOK showed interest and optimism for a potential agreement, no deal was reached. His decision to stay was reinforced by his recent goal against Mallorca, boosting his confidence and performance outlook.

PAOK de Salónica is interested in acquiring the services of Congolese forward Cedric Bakambu from Real Betis, as reported by Greek journalist Dimitris Tsorbatzoglou from Sport FM. However, the offer from the Greek club is not economically attractive for Real Betis or the player, making it unlikely to progress in the final stretch of the market. Real Betis intends to recover at least two of the three million invested in Bakambu's transfer a year ago, an amount PAOK is not reaching.

Betis is offering Bakambu in various markets to try and recover part of their investment.

Real Betis is looking to offload Cedric Bakambu in the winter market due to his unsatisfactory performance and high salary. He joined less than a year ago from Galatasaray for 3 million euros, with potential add-ons up to five million, none of which have been met. His contract runs until June 2026. His future might be in the emerging Arab football market.

Cédric Bakambu, a Congolese striker aged 33, is expected to leave Real Betis in the upcoming winter transfer market due to underperformance. He scored only one goal in 16 matches across LaLiga and the Conference League. While he initially excited fans, his lack of offensive impact and confidence has made him a prime candidate for departure. The club has received inquiries about him, but no concrete offers yet. His departure would free up resources for Betis to strengthen their attack.
