Arsenal, Tottenham, Liverpool, Everton, and Aston Villa are among a host of clubs keen on the out-of-contract French ace, 24.
But Diame — who Roberto Martinez signed from Madrid outfit Rayo Vallecano in 2009 — wants to return to the Spanish sunshine.
The midfielder flew to Seville for talks with Betis coach Pepe Mel and sporting director Vlada Stosic last week.
Diame wants a three-year deal worth £3.5million, and is close to agreeing terms with Betis.
That works out at £22.5k per week. Isn’t that quite modest for Prem wages?
in sun this morningDiame is? Well, he (Donnolly) did say he wanted to go back to Spain. Didn’t take him long.
Mind you I was in the sun all day yesterday. Didn’t see anyone reporting that.

I hope you had plenty of sun block on your Gulliver ! B)
I can’t understand in these end of contract malarkeys, why the player and club can’t agree say another 3 year contract, under the proviso that the player is allowed to leave when club
come knocking. A sort of thank-you from the player to the club for dragging them out of obscurity and giving them an opportunity of going on show in the prem league.
If all these clubs that are being banded about are interested in Diame, I’m sure we could have squoze £4-£5m out them. That way the player gets what he wants and club at least recoup some brass back. goodpostFrom Matlock to ManU

Sorry jr the players are only interested in themselves and the big wage and signing on fee they’ll get because no fee is involved.

As far as I’m aware, Valencia didn’t sign a new contract in January 2009. He was offered the chance to go after Real Madrid made an offer & he turned it down (my understanding being that United had told him to wait till the summer & he wanted to go there). He’d only signed a 3yr contract in January 2008 & so didn’t need to sign a new one a year later to ensure Latics got a fee for him. If his contract had only had 6 months left to run I’m pretty certain that he wouldn’t have signed a new one just to ensure Latics got a fee for him.
Does anybody really blame a footballer for preferring to join a club for nothing when 1) they can decide where they go as opposed to only being able to go to a club that their current club accepts a bid from & 2) They will get more money in wages & signing on fees as their new club hasn’t had to fork out money just to be able to sign them?good luck to the lad wish him well
dont think he played apart in our survival towards the end
team was much better when maloney got in the side
good bye and good luck to him i say,hope where ever he ends up the woman are worse than ours
that will take some doing :lol:My money is on him going to Liverpool with RM ! As far as I am aware he wants to stay in the Prem and had spoken to Dalglish a couple of times re a move to LFC !
From Sporting Life news today.
Diame has revealed he held discussions with Dalglish about a possible move to Anfield and that he was sad to see the deal fall through following the Scot’s departure earlier this month.
“I met before Kenny Dalglish and we talked about next season, but God decided to finish this situation,” Diame told Sky Sports News.
“It is true I was very sad in my head as I was thinking to go there, but that is OK as I think I have got other opportunities to go to another club.”
Diame revealed he has received offers from Spain, France and Turkey, but that his preference is to stay in the Premier League.
