Beto extends Sevilla stay
Portuguese international goalkeeper Alberto Bastos Pimparel, better known as Beto, has penned a two-year extension to his contract with Sevilla, the La Liga club said Monday. Beto, 32, arrived at Sevilla in 2013, on a contract which initially ran until 30 June next year.
"I'm very satisfied," said Beto, who won the UEFA Europa League last season with the club. "I wanted to continue working with this club who have given me so much. It's a very happy day for me and my family.
"I signed where I always wanted to be," Beto told the club's website. "I had other choices. The negotiations were very long, but ultimately this was the will of both parties."
The club said in a statement that Beto was rewarded for his remarkable performances over the past two years, playing 83 games, as Sevilla sit fifth in La Liga this season.
