Joaquin :" My period at Betis is finished " .
-
MADRID, April 6 (Reuters) -
Real Betis winger Joaquin has made it clear that he wants to leave the Primera Liga side at the end of the season despite having four years left on his contract.
'I've been at Betis for many years and I now want to experience something different,' the 24-year-old Spanish international told a news conference on Thursday.
'It might be that I want to change my footballing life a little. It is possible that my period at Betis is finished and that the club needs to sell me and use that money to strengthen the team with new reinforcements.'
Joaquin, who has won 36 caps for Spain, graduated to the Betis first team from the reserves in 2000 when the club was in the second division and has been a key member of the side ever since.
Betis president Manuel Ruiz de Lopera said last season that he had rejected a bid for the player from Chelsea, while the Spanish media have also linked him at various times to Real Madrid, Barcelona and Valencia.
'For me it's very flattering that they are taking about interest from these sorts of teams,' he said. 'It is great especially when I haven't had a particularly good season.
'If I could get the opportunity to experience football in another country I would be happy to take it,' he added.
'We'll have to see what happens between now and the end of the season, but the only thing that matters to me at the moment is helping my team stay in the first division.
Betis are in 12th position in the Primera Liga, five points above the relegation zone with seven games left to play. -

Joaquin has voice it , a straight hint to other big clubs , it's up to us to grap him .
England seemed to be those Spanish's final destination . When those Spanish has enough at Spain , the only place they want to be , to up-grade themself , it's England . All thanks to Benitez , he has stamped England in Spain footballing map .
If I'm Joaquin , seeing the success on the likes of Garcia , Alonso , Reina , and ex-Liverpool Josemi , Nunez enjoying their time at England , although some failed to succeed , there's nowhere I can go to pursue a tougher challenge .
What a footballer always wanted , a challenge , the tougher the better .
That's why we saw Morientes vowed to stay at Liverpool , cos he hasn't fulfill his challenging ambition . -

Even through we have spanish players flooding our team , we have some english players in the team , so the media cannot say anything to that.
Yes, lets get Joaquin, he will be a great assist to our superb midfield. Other then him , we need a finisher . Someone who take less then 2 chances to score a goal. How about Torres ? -
If after buying Joaquin, u think Lpool still got so much money to buy Torres???Originally posted by K800i:Even through we have spanish players flooding our team , we have some english players in the team , so the media cannot say anything to that.
