Congolese international Cédric Bakambu is making headlines with Real Betis in the 2025-2026 season.

Although he was expected to leave, "Bakagoal" has managed to reestablish himself as a key player in Manuel Pellegrini's Andalusian side.

It's a remarkable comeback for the "Leopard," who could now benefit from a contract extension with his current deal set to expire on June 30, 2026.

According to Spanish media, the Chilean coach has requested contract renewals for several key players. However, this scenario will only be considered if the club manages to secure a ticket to the next edition of the UEFA Champions League.

Cédric Bakambu's record with Real Betis

Signed in 2024 from Galatasaray, the Congolese national team star has featured in 53 matches for Real Betis, scoring 13 goals and providing 4 assists.
