Betis Sporting Director to step down amid Barca links
Real Betis' Sporting Director Antonio Cordon will be leaving the club at the end of the season with Barcelona reportedly on high alert.
Despite the past three seasons putting immense financial strain on European clubs, Betis managed to make a net profit of just under €44m, while qualifying for European football in both seasons and winning the Copa del Rey.
His good work has made Cordon a popular option with Barca reportedly interested in his services, which the Betis boss has denied.
"An offer from Barcelona? I'm laughing, I have nothing with any club. My departure is not because I am going to any club for the moment, so nothing. They're barking up the wrong tree, you can calmly deny that they are not true."
"It is true that now they are undoubtedly going to link me to many teams, both in Europe and in Spain, It is what it is. It's something I have to accept."
