Official: Cédric Bakambu leaves Real Betis after two seasons

The journey ends for Cédric Bakambu at Real Betis in La Liga. The Congolese striker announced this Monday that he is leaving the Andalusian club after his contract was not renewed.

Bakambu shared a farewell message: “The time has come for me to leave. I depart with a heavy heart, but with wonderful memories. I wish you all the best. Good luck next season.”

Two seasons in green and white

Bakambu joined in 2024 from Villarreal and was not always an indispensable starter. However, he certainly left his mark in Seville. Over 74 appearances across all competitions, Bakambu netted 15 goals and provided 7 assists—a strong tally for a player often used in rotation.

Is a new challenge on the horizon?

Bakambu is now a free agent. The Congolese international striker is available on the transfer market. At 35, he leaves Betis satisfied after two years wearing the green and white. The big question now is where the panther will go next. Cédric Bakambu showcased his athletic prowess at the last World Cup, featuring in all three group stage matches for DR Congo.
