Fekir leaves Lyon in surprise move to Real Betis
MADRID: French World Cup winning midfielder Nabil Fekir has completed a surprising move from Lyon to Real Betis, the La Liga club announced on Tuesday.
“Real Betis and Olympique Lyonnais have reached an agreement for the transfer of midfielder Nabil Fekir,” the club stated on its website.
“The French international has signed a contract until 2023 with the Green and White club. Fekir becomes the fourth team signing for the season 2019/2020.
“With the arrival of Fekir, Real Betis acquire creativity, great technique, shooting ability and attacking edge.”
No transfer fee has been made public although reports in France and Spain put the fee at just over 20 million euros which could rise by another 10 million through bonuses.
Fekir, who has signed a five-year deal, and Betis both have a 20 percent sell-on clause included in the deal.
In spite of a likely pay rise from his Lyon salary, estimated by L’Equipe at 350,000 euros a month, it appears a surprising move for the 26-year-old on a football front.
