The unpleasant details of the unexpected transfer of French midfielder Nabil Fekir from Lyon to Seville Betis in the summer of 2019 have come to light. The 28-year-old footballer was then considered the clear leader of the team.

According to the RMC resource, the player's decision to leave the club could be connected with a xenophobic history. According to the source, at one of the meetings with Fekir, the club's management asked their ward to shave off his beard, through which, in their opinion, the football player “propagates Islam”, since his beard is perceived as a symbol of the Muslim religion professed by the athlete.

Such a request became the final trigger for the player to leave, according to the source.

This season, Fekir has already successfully played 26 matches for Betis, scoring seven goals and assists seven times.
