The Seville-based franchise was willing to listen to offers for the Mexican soccer player, but according to information from El Diario de Sevilla, it indicates that his good contribution in the last duels and "Lainez's rejection to leave have partly changed the landscape."

So far the game in which more time has remained in the field is against Atlethic, with 73 minutes.

This would be the second season he disputes in the Spanish league, but in just one year he has played a total of 21 duels. However, the technical director of Betis, Joan Francesc Ferrer, clarified in the month of December that at no time has planned the exit of Lainez.

On another occasion the strategist highlighted the qualities of the quarryman of the Americas and declared for the agency EFE: “Without a doubt, a great player with a very large exponential growth. I would not change it now for any other player, it is growing and has to wait for its moment. ”

Although it is not the first time he mentioned his departure from the team, since a month ago it was mentioned that the fate of the 19-year-old boy was Lyon. The newspaper L'Equipe reported that the representative of Diego would have wanted the player to leave Betis via loan, in the absence of minutes on the court.
