Goalkeeper Adrián San Miguel is set to leave Real Betis at the end of this season. Head coach Manuel Pellegrini confirmed today that tomorrow's match will be the 39-year-old's final appearance for the club.
Adrián returned to his boyhood club in the summer of 2024 and quickly became a key leader within the squad. Pellegrini highlighted the veteran's impact:
He made a great contribution, and tomorrow he deserves a great reception from the fans in his farewell. Manuel Pellegrini
Although initially signed as a third-choice keeper, Adrián's role evolved significantly. Last season, he played in the historic Conference League final against Chelsea, and throughout the current campaign, he served as the primary goalkeeper for the Copa del Rey.
While speculation regarding his potential retirement has surfaced, Pellegrini did not provide definitive confirmation, stating that the decision rests with the player. Adrián hopes to feature in the upcoming match against Levante to bid a proper farewell to the fans after two years back in LaLiga.
