The goalkeeper will leave the club managed by Manuel Pellegrini once the season is over, after four years with the green and white team. His future is uncertain.
Claudio Bravo will not continue at Betis . This was confirmed by the goalkeeper after training this Tuesday at the Ciudad Deportiva Luis del Sol, as he left the enclosure and was questioned about his continuity in the club to which he has belonged since four years.
From the television show El Chiringuito they consulted him on his next steps. “My future? Splendor “, he replied first, although he later published the definitive information.
“No, it’s over here ” Bravo said before leaving. In this way, the goalkeeper confirmed his departure from the club that counts him as one of the important elements of Betis in qualifying for three European competitions, in addition to having won the Copa del Rey in the 2021-22 season.
Now, the two-time American champion must evaluate his future. A few days ago, in an interview with Sporty , Manuel Pellegrini wondered about its continuity. “Claudio is now finishing his contract here. We’ll see what happens at the end of the season. He has had a rather complicated year, he is already 41 years old. We will see at the end of the season what the intentions are,” he commented on the occasion.
A slam of the door to return to Chile
What is clear is that Claudio Bravo must face this process which could mean the end of his career as a professional footballer. At the beginning of May, the goalkeeper gave clues about his future.
“I don’t have anything clear. In a few weeks I will have to finish my contract with Betis and I want everything to end well. I didn’t want to see or listen to any proposals for later because I want to finish this step here in the best way. “, the goalkeeper admitted in a conversation with the Golden Generation program on Channel 13.
“If I receive an offer that gives me good feelings and fills me with enthusiasm, I will logically extend my career. But if nothing happens or something appears that doesn’t generate anything for me or the expectations don’t match what I’m used to, the cycle is cut. “, detained.
Of course, if he continues, the native of Viluco has already made it clear that returning to Chile is not among his first options. “You see Arturo’s career, playing in clubs, it’s difficult for other teammates to have a career like that. Then you see it arrives in Chile and it hurts that they throw it in the trash; that at the beginning they are confronted with a thousand things because in another country this does not happen “, he commented, taking the current Colo Colo footballer as an example.
“If I weigh certain things, I don’t need to return to Chile or see those around me suffer from the criticism of others. I don’t want to experience this other movie “he added.
Finally, he gives a final thought. “My future doesn’t worry me at all . The worry comes more from the outside for the future, but I tried to do things the right way and I had some luck. This gives me some peace of mind during this phase of work. », concluded Bravo.
