The al-itthad club is pushing to sign Ramon Blanis, the sporting director of Real Betis in his country, according to ABC Sevilla.
The Spanish newspaper reported on Wednesday that the federation, the holder of the Saudi football league Roshen, continued to take an interest in Blanis, who took office last summer and has nearly a quarter of a century’s experience in sports management.
The 56-year-old received a Saudi offer of $1 million, exceeding what he and his team received at Real Betis.
He was a Catalan sports director and professional ball manager at Spanish club Barcelona, from 2018 to 2021.
While FICSA aims to bring in the Catalan, the latter, together with its assistants, is engaged in the ongoing winter transfer window work and prospects of selling and purchasing players’ contracts.
Amidst his concerns, ABC Sevilla confirmed that there was an opportunity for Blanes to come out.
“The sports committee of the club faces the risk of losing one of its most important elements”, she wrote, confirming the sporting director’s study of his future, usually a pressing issue that has not been resolved once and for all.
“Millions in Saudi football have revolutionized football, and Petis is no exception. pressure continues on Blanes and the coming weeks is essential to determine whether he will continue his way abroad or remain loyal to the Betis project “.
Before the last summer’s transfer, al-itthad club signed Brazilian-Italian defender Luiz Felipe from the same club, who belong to Spain’s La Lega League.
After 18 rounds, Real Betis, who collected 28 points, are seventh in the league table, which Real Madrid hold by 45 points.
