Chadi Riad is one of those rare examples that can boast of having made the most of a transfer, even if it is with a mandatory Betic purchase option -three million euros-. The center back has become an indispensable piece for the team led by Pellegrini.
Chadi’s progression has been spectacular. An evolution that has not gone unnoticed at Barça and has made us reconsider the need to exercise the buyback option on the player valued at 7 million euros. The footballer is aware of all the rumors although, for now, he prefers not to speculate on everything that may happen beyond June 30. “I only have Betis in mind. Now Betis is my team and that’s it. If Barça will come later, I don’t know. They will come, or not. Right now I am in the present at Betis,” he says in an interview with Kissoccer.
At 20 years old, Chadi Riad knows that he is at a delicate moment in his career. Halfway between Betis and Barcelona, his name is already planning as one of the great emerging values of the Spanish League. Cold on and off the playing fields, he does not accept the game of market speculation. “I simply work day by day. I am focused on the present, because if you put your mind on other things, you end up losing concentration and things end up going wrong. Betis is now my team and I am going to give 100% for this team now.” continue. Then, if other things come, then we will have to decide. For the moment, I am focused on the present.”
Overbooking at Barça
The technical reports in Can Barça confirm the enormous progression of Chadi and his growth to become one of those footballers that should not be lost sight of. In the sports area, the need to assume the small cost that the play-offs would entail in the first year of the contract has already been assessed – there is another option at the end of the second season – but first the central panorama would have to be cleared.
Lenglet, Eric and Chadi himself are central defenders with a left-footed profile who should coexist with Araujo, Koundé, Cubarsí and Iñigo Martínez. A real overbooking that will have to be resolved during the summer market.
