Bakambu grateful for Betis’ trust, they chose to keep me | OneFootball

He was one of the names in green-and-white code during the last transfer window. The possibility of Cedric Bakambu leaving was something everyone considered, but in the end, the Congolese player remains part of Real Betis. He reflected on the first matches of the season in an interview with the club’s official media.

"I’m happy here, I feel good. You know they call me the prince of Montequinto. Last year was a good season for the team, for me as well, and I want to keep it that way. You should know there was a clause in my contract where Betis could let me go, but they decided to keep me. I’m here at the club’s disposal and we’ll see how this season goes," commented Bakambu, who expressed his gratitude to the club with thirteen stripes.

The Congolese striker is aware of the situation that unfolded over the summer. But he’s not going to put up any obstacles to whatever decisions Betis makes about his future. "If the club decides to keep me, I’ll stay, but if the club decides otherwise, no worries. The club won’t have any problems with me. That’s the most important thing. I’m eager to play this season. I want to score more goals for Betis. I feel good, but there’s always room for improvement," he emphasized.

Maximum ambition

The start of the season hasn’t been as good as expected for Real Betis. However, Bakambu hasn’t lost his desire to achieve great things this season. "I think we can do better than last year. Now we have to prove it on the pitch. We need time to automate our connections. I think very soon we’ll see Betis at its best. I see the training sessions, I see the players, eager, and that’s what we need."
