Real Betis want to keep hold of Barcelona midfielder Carles Alena.

Despite Barca coach Quique Setien already saying he'll count on him next season, in Seville they want him to stay at Real Betis, where he is on loan.

Alena arrived in January on-loan to June.

Estadio Deportivo says Betis want him to play at the Benito Villamarin on loan next year too.

Betis coach Rubi is a big fan of the midfielder and will recommend extending his stay.
