"We are happy and very pleased to be part of Macron and look forward to the launch of new brands from the Italian company," said Real Betis president Miguel Guillen.

"Real Betis will greatly benefit from this partnership with Macron, which has worked hard to offer the best possibilities. This agreement will greatly benefit Betis over the next five years."
