Barça B: Betis interested in Abraham

Sevillian local newspaper Diario de Sevilla claims that Betis Sevilla is interested in Barcelona Atlètic midfielder Abraham González (23), who joined Barcelona B in the summer of 2007 and whose current contract expires at the end of this season.

Betis sports director Manuel Momparlet would recently have had several contacts concerning the transfer of Abraham, who made his first team debut last October in the cup game against Benidorm (read more here). The Primera División team could soon make a formal offer for the midfielder, who would be getting less playing time with Barcelona Atlètic lately because he would have rejected a first renewal offer by Barcelona.

Asked about the presumed interest of Betis, the player's agent Rafael Anguita told the paper that he was aware that Betis is following Abraham: "Betis didn't make us a concrete offer, but I can tell you that their technical staff perfectly knows the player. I cannot say more at this stage.

It's true that his contract expires in June and that he therefore can sign for any club from the 1st of January on, but we don't want to rush things. We have several options and we will look at them carefully. We have offers coming from Spain as well as one from abroad, but we should also listen to what Barcelona has to say.

Abraham wants to play at a club that can give him some guarantees, not really financial ones, but more sporting guarantees. He's 23 years old and he wants to play in the first division because he's perfectly capable of that. And the truth is that at this moment it's not easy to reach that goal at Barcelona."
