World Sports: Isco refuses Serie A offer, Betis hopes to renew his contract until at least 2029

Western media "World Sports" reported that Isco rejected the Serie A offer, and Betis hopes to renew his contract until at least 2029.

Betis has finalized seven new players and has yet to complete at least four signings. After the transfer window is closed, the club will start negotiations for renewal with Isco, whose contract expires in 2027.

Isco, 33, is the absolute core of this Betis. He joined Betis as a free agent after termination of his contract with Sevilla in the summer of 2023. At that time, the contract was signed for only one year and was accompanied by a renewal option, which was a symbolic salary. But with his amazing performance, Betis extended his contract to 2027 in November of the same year and became a maximum-paid player on the team from the 2024/25 season.

Last season, despite missing until December due to a fibula injury at the end of the previous season, Isco still played 33 official games, contributing 12 goals and 11 assists. Isco is undoubtedly Betis's leader.

It was reported that several weeks ago, Isco rejected a generous offer from the Serie A team because he felt fully integrated into Betis. The club plans to initiate a renewal after the summer window is closed, extending its existing contract to at least 2029, when he will be at least 37 years old.

Betis director Manu Fahardo talked about Isco at the debut ceremony of Philpo on Tuesday: "He has surpassed the sphere of a player and is a great honor for all of us and fans. Isco's achievements as a player are great enough, and his character is even more top-notch. It is fortunate to feel his empathy, professionalism and team sense every day. He is one of the most important players in the team history, and I am sure he will become the legend of Betis."
