Joaquin - Back for another year with Betis Joaquin has signed a one-year contract extension with Real Betis, the club announced Wednesday.
Luiz Felipe - Pens contract with Betis Felipe has inked a five-year contract with Betis Sevilla after becoming a free agent, the club announced.
Impact Felipe has shown steady improvement in his five years at Lazio and fell out of favor late last season only because it became apparent that he was not going to sign an extension. He posted 51 tackles, 35 interceptions, 120 clearances and 46 blocks in 38 appearances (35 starts) in 2021/2022, contributing to eight clean sheets. He is slated to be a regular starter at his new team.

Martin Montoya - Continuing recovery Montoya (foot) is working to return to fitness and rejoin Betis' squad for the upcoming season, Estadio Deportivo reports.
Impact Montoya missed the majority of 2021/22 with a foot injury as it was revealed that he has Haglund's deformity, a bone abnormality in the area of the achilles tendon. He underwent surgery to fix the problem and has continued his rehabilitation throughout the offseason, but he is hoping to be fully fit again by the start of the next campaign, even though he will be behind Youssouf Sabaly and Hector Bellerin in the right-back depth chart at Betis.

Claudio Bravo - Ends season absent Bravo (strain) missed the final three matches of the season and finished with five clean sheets from 17 league starts.
Impact Bravo dealt with a muscular strain that caused him to miss several games for Betis in the final stretch of the season. The goalkeeper showed efficiency in net recording 57 saves and keeping five clean sheets for his 2020/21 campaign. However, Rui Silva, saw more time in the second half of the season. Given that Bravo is 39 years old, his days of being an every-match starter are coming to a close.

Willian Jose - Takes shot in draw Jose took a shot and created a chance in last week's 0-0 draw against Real Madrid. He also made a clearance in the match.
Impact Jose tallied eight goals and four assists in 32 La Liga appearances (19 starts) as he and Borja Iglesias split time almost equally as Betis' starting striker this season. The 30-year-old will join the club as a permanent player once his season-long loan from Real Sociedad expires in the summer.

Borja Iglesias - Subs on in season finale Iglesias played the final 20 minutes of last week's match against Real Madrid, and he created a chance in the 0-0 draw.
Impact Iglesias tallied 10 goals in 33 La Liga appearances (18 starts) as he and Willian Jose split time almost equally as Betis' starting striker this season. The 29-year-old has scored double-digit league goals in three of the last four seasons -- netting 11 goals in 2020/21 and 17 goals with Espanyol in 2018/19.
MAY 27, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Joaquin - Takes shot in draw Joaquin subbed into last week's match against Real Madrid in the 74th minute and he took a shot in the 0-0 draw.
Impact Joaquin made 36 appearances in his age-40 season for Betis, including eight starts in the Europa League and two goals in his side's victorious march to the Copa del Rey.
MAY 27, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Rodri - Comes off bench in season finale Rodri subbed into last week's match against Real Madrid in the 63rd minute and played the final half hour of the 0-0 draw.
Impact Rodri tallied one goal and two assists in 21 La Liga appearances this campaign (10 starts), and the 22-year-old was a capable backup option to Sergio Canales on the right wing. He will want to continue to develop and improve heading into next season.
MAY 27, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Aitor Ruibal - On bench in season finale Ruibal was an unused substitute in last week's 0-0 draw against Real Madrid.
Impact The emergence of Juanmi this campaign pushed Ruibal into a backup role as he finished with no goal involvements in 19 La Liga appearances (nine starts). But the 26-year-old can play on either wing and that versatility will still serve him well next season.
MAY 27, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Cristian Tello - Comes off bench in season finale Tello played the final five minutes or so of last week's scoreless draw against Real Madrid.
Impact Tello tallied two goals and two assists in 23 La Liga appearances (five starts) as the backup to Juanmi on the left wing this season, but the 30-year-old is set to become a free agent in the summer after five campaigns with Real Betis if no new deal is agreed upon.
MAY 27, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Juanmi - Takes three shots against Real Madrid Juanmi took three shots and created a chance in last week's 0-0 draw against Real Madrid. He also made a clearance in the match.
Impact Juanmi couldn't find the net in last week's finale, but he ends the season as Betis' top scorer with 16 goals and four assists in 33 La Liga appearances (26 starts) from the left wing. The 29-year-old had never been this prolific in a league campaign before -- his previous record was 11 goals for Real Sociedad in 2016/17 -- and he will want to have a similar impact for his club next season.
MAY 27, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Paul Akouokou - On bench in season finale Akouokou was an unused substitute in last week's draw against Real Madrid.
Impact Akouokou kept two clean sheets in eight La Liga appearances (six starts) this campaign, but with William Carvalho (30 years old) and Andres Guardado (35) not getting any younger, he will be expected to push for more minutes in defensive midfield next season.
MAY 27, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Andres Guardado - Takes shot in draw Guardado took a shot on target and created a chance in last week's 0-0 draw against Real Madrid.
Impact Guardado made 28 La Liga appearances (17 starts) as he and William Carvalho rotated as Guido Rodriguez's partner in defensive midfield for Betis. The 35-year-old could see a bigger challenge from Paul Akouokou for the position next season.
MAY 27, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
William Carvalho - Comes off bench in season finale Carvalho subbed into last weekend's match against Real Madrid and played the final half hour or so of the 0-0 draw.
Impact Carvalho tallied two goals, three assists and three clean sheets in 33 La Liga appearances (20 starts) this campaign as he and Andres Guardado rotated as Guido Rodriguez's partner in defensive midfield for Betis. The 30-year-old could see a bigger challenge from Paul Akouokou for the position next season.
MAY 27, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Guido Rodriguez - Takes two shots against Real Madrid Rodriguez took two shots (one on target) and won three of six tackles in last week's 0-0 draw against Real Madrid. He also made a clearance in the match.
Impact Rodriguez tallied one goal, two assists and nine clean sheets in 32 La Liga appearances (29 starts) from defensive midfield this campaign, and the 28-year-old will likely continue as Betis' first choice in the position next season.
MAY 27, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Martin Montoya - Out for season finale Montoya (achilles) was not involved in last week's draw against Real Madrid.
Impact Montoya grabbed an assist across his 10 games in La Liga and the Europa League this campaign, but he made just one appearance since October and an achilles injury has kept him out for the entire 2022 so far. The 31-year-old will hope to return fully fit next season, but he also made just five times in the league in 2020/21.
MAY 27, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Juan Miranda - On bench in season finale Miranda was an unused substitute in last week's scoreless draw against Real Madrid.
Impact Miranda took a bit of a step back this season for Betis, recording two assists and three clean sheets in 13 La Liga appearances (nine starts), playing less than half of the domestic minutes that he managed in 2020/21 as Alex Moreno took over as the starting left back. But the 22-year-old still has plenty of time to continue developing, and his six Europa League starts this campaign point to his continued progression and cumulated experience heading into next season.
MAY 27, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Youssouf Sabaly - Defends well in draw Sabaly made two clearances and won three of four tackles in last week's 0-0 draw against Real Madrid.
Impact Sabaly got off to a slow start in Betis thanks to an early-season thigh injury that kept him out until 2022, but the 29-year-old made up for lost time by tallying an assist and four clean sheets in 10 La Liga appearances (nine starts) from there on out, taking over the starting right back spot from Hector Bellerin down the stretch.
MAY 27, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Hector Bellerin - Out for season finale Bellerin was not involved in last week's draw against Real Madrid.
Impact Bellerin grabbed two assists and kept eight clean sheets in 23 La Liga appearances (22 starts) during his loan-campaign with Betis, though Youssouf Sabaly put in a strong challenge for the starting right back position near the end of the campaign. There doesn't seem to be much of a future for the 27-year-old at Arsenal with the emergence of Takehiro Tomiyasu so Bellerin might try to return to Spain on a permanent basis next season.
MAY 27, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Alex Moreno - Creates chance in draw Moreno made two clearances and created a chance in last week's 0-0 draw against Real Madrid. He also won one of two tackles in the match.
Impact Moreno missed much of March due to injury, but he reaffirmed his status as the starting left back this campaign with five goals, three assists and seven clean sheets in 30 La Liga appearances (28 starts). The 28-year-old will likely remain the preferred option over Juan Miranda next season.
MAY 27, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Edgar Gonzalez - On bench in season finale Gonzalez was an unused substitute in last week's scoreless draw against Real Madrid.
Impact Gonzalez took a step up this season with a goal, an assist and four clean sheets in 21 La Liga appearances (seven starts), and he started seven games in the Europa League as well. The 25-year-old signed a contract extension with Betis in March and has begun to overtake Victor Ruiz as the third-choice center back.
MAY 27, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Victor Ruiz - Out for season finale Ruiz was not involved in last week's draw against Real Madrid.
Impact Ruiz's playing time decreased this season as he kept four clean sheets in 18 La Liga appearances (17 starts), and the 33-year-old has started slipping behind Edgar Gonzalez for the backup center back spot in Betis.
MAY 27, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Marc Bartra - Keeps clean sheet in win Bartra made two blocks, three clearances and an interception in last week's 0-0 draw against Real Madrid.
Impact Bartra finishes a very successful season for Betis with eight clean sheets and a goal in 23 starts en route to a fifth-placed finish in La Liga, as well as a Copa del Rey victory. He and German Pezzella have formed a formidable pair in central defense heading into next season.
MAY 27, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
German Pezzella - Keeps clean sheet in draw Pezzella took a shot and made two clearances in last week's 0-0 draw against Real Madrid.
Impact Pezzella wasn't always in the lineup in his first La Liga season (eight clean sheets in 22 starts) but rotation was always going to be likely as Betis also won the Copa del Rey and made it to the Europa League knockout rounds. All-in-all, it has been a successful season for the 30-year-old alongside Marc Bartra in central defense as his side finished fifth and qualified for Europe once again next season.
MAY 27, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Rui Silva - Keeps another clean sheet Silva kept a clean sheet with three saves made during Friday's scoreless draw with Real Madrid.
Impact Silva finished the season with three straight clean sheets and an impressive effort to shut out the Champions on the road. He only made 21 starts in the league but recorded six in the UEL, so his first year with Betis was solid after a tougher finish to his time in Granada.
