In elite football, scenarios change rapidly. A player can go from being out of the plans to becoming a protagonist in just a few weeks. That is precisely what is happening with Cédric Bakambu at Real Betis Balompié, a footballer who seemed destined for the exit ramp but has now earned an unexpected role thanks to his performance.

During the last transfer window, the possibility of getting rid of the Congolese striker was considered by the noble hierarchy at the Villamarín. Both he and Chimy Ávila were close to leaving the club, as the sports management wanted to free up salary space to bring in a new forward. However, as no convincing offers arrived, both stayed in the Verdiblanco squad. In Bakambu's case, as reported in EstadioDeportivo, this stay is turning into a golden opportunity.

Bakambu fights to stay at Betis

The player born in Ivry-sur-Seine has started September with a notable goal-scoring streak. In the final stages of the match against Athletic Club, he scored his first goal in the La Liga this season with a header, breaking a drought that had raised doubts. But it did not stop there: with his national team, the Democratic Republic of Congo, he netted a brace against South Sudan in the qualifiers for the upcoming World Cup, showing a scoring instinct that could be very useful for Manuel Pellegrini.

The statistics are clear: Bakambu has scored in just 47 minutes played in the domestic league, while his teammate Cucho Hernández, with over 300 minutes on the field, has yet to score. This contrast has sparked an internal debate about who should be the offensive reference in the upcoming matches.

The Chilean coach faces a demanding schedule. The Europa League and the Copa del Rey will require rotations, and Bakambu seems determined to seize every minute to prove that he deserves a place in the starting eleven. His confidence has grown, his physical condition is improving, and, most importantly, he is responding with goals, the most valuable currency in football.

Meanwhile, rumors continue to swirl in the Betis environment. There is talk of possible offers from Saudi Arabia or even a return to Turkey, common destinations for players with his profile. However, his current level forces the club to reconsider any operation. If he continues on this path, it would be logical to keep him in the squad, especially considering the lack of alternatives in attack after a transfer window where no reinforcements arrived for the forward line.

Bakambu has gone from being in doubt to becoming a piece that can change Betis' offensive landscape. With goals, work, and commitment, the Congolese has earned a place that just a month ago seemed lost. Now the ball is in Pellegrini's and the sports management's court: to decide whether external offers are more deserving than the security of having a striker in full form.
