For months, it has looked likely that Real Betis would lose both of their first-choice left-backs at the end of the season. Juan Miranda is out of contract, while it is anticipated that Abner Vinicius will join Lyon – it would mean that two new additions for the position would be required in the summer.
However, there now appears to be a chance that Miranda does stay, despite an exit having looked nailed on. On Thursday, he told El Chiringuito that he would like to re-open contract talks with Betis in the coming weeks.
“Would I like to renew with Betis? Yes, man. We’ll see what happens.”
Miranda has been linked with several clubs across Europe over the last few months, among them Brighton and Benfica. He’s been a fine addition for Real Betis, although this season hasn’t gone particularly well – nevertheless, it remains to be seen whether his contract situation is re-visited at the end of the season.
