Ali G Indahouse! Bizarre video confirms Isco contract renewal with Real Betis

On Thursday, Real Betis confirmed that Spanish midfielder Isco has signed a new contract with the club. The former Real Madrid man penned a deal until 2027, but Betis chose a rather unconventional way of announcing the news. Transfer and new contract announcement videos are all the rage these days, but not many feature Sacha Baron Cohen's famous character, Ali G.

Isco joined Betis from cross-town rivals Sevilla in the summer on a one-year deal, and has since become a mainstay in Manuel Pellegrini's side. The Ali G video was in keeping with the club's light-hearted approach to social media; earlier on Thursday, they celebrated Spain's equivalent of April Fool's Day by teasing a return of retired club legend Joaquin.

With Betis currently seventh in the table, Isco will look to help push them into European contention when they take on Celta Vigo on January 3.
