Fix: BVB defender Bartra to Betis Sevilla

Seville (SID) Marc Bartra is leaving Borussia Dortmund and returning permanently to his Spanish homeland to Betis Sevilla. The Bundesliga club confirmed this late on Tuesday evening. After one and a half years with the DFB Cup winners, the central defender is moving to the Andalusians with immediate effect. At midday, Spanish media had only reported a loan deal. Bartra still had a contract in Dortmund that was valid until 2020. "Marc Bartra is a wonderful person and a great footballer," said BVB boss Hans-Joachim Watzke: "Unfortunately, terrible things happened to him in Dortmund as a result of the cowardly attack in a way that is still unbelievable. Against this background, we respect Marc's wish to be in "To return to our home country and leave everything behind. Because we feel a special obligation to Marc, we showed clear concessions during the transfer negotiations." It was only on Monday that Bartra testified before the district court about the bomb attack on the BVB team last year. He reported on the consequences of the attack on himself. “I was scared to death and afraid that I would never see my family again,” said the Spanish central defender, who was injured in the arm in the bomb attack on April 11, 2017. His farewell to the black and yellow had already become apparent in the past few weeks.
