FC Barcelona sold Ez Abde to Real Betis in the summer of 2023 after the Moroccan winger sought greater playing time than he was being afforded at the club.<\/p>\n

After a couple of middling campaigns, the 24-year-old attacker has enjoyed a breakthrough season with Los Verdiblancos this time around, racking up 12 goals and 12 assists from 38 games in all competitions.<\/p>\n

Financial windfall for Barcelona if Abde leaves<\/p>\n

Now, according to Mundo Deportivo<\/a>, Several clubs, including Paris Saint-Germain, Liverpool, Napoli, Aston Villa and Newcastle United, are closely monitoring Abde\u2019s progress at Real Betis.<\/p>\n

The winger is under contract with Betis until 2029 and has a release clause set at \u20ac60 million, which the aforementioned clubs are considering triggering in the summer.<\/p>\n

If that happens, Barcelona would stand to receive a windfall of \u20ac12 million from the transfer.<\/p>\n

Real Betis currently hold 80% of the player\u2019s rights after purchasing 50% from Barcelona for \u20ac7.5 million in 2023. In February 2025, the Catalans transferred an additional 30% as part of the agreement related to the termination of Vitor Roque\u2019s loan.<\/p>\n

As such, Bar\u00e7a still retain 20% of Abde\u2019s economic rights. And with Betis pointing interested parties towards his \u20ac60 million release clause, the Blaugrana could receive 20% of that sum, i.e., \u20ac12 million in the summer.<\/p>\n

Interestingly, Barcelona had been considering re-signing Abde<\/a> to reinforce the left wing, with a permanent move for Marcus Rashford deemed unlikely. <\/p>\n

However, things have gone quiet on that front of late, with the club looking at other options such as Jan Virgili<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"FC Barcelona sold Ez Abde to Real Betis in the summer of 2023 after the Moroccan winger sought…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":13948,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[92,222,4710,223,1139],"class_list":{"0":"post-13947","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-barcelona","8":"tag-barcelona","9":"tag-barcelona-news","10":"tag-ez-abde","11":"tag-fc-barcelona","12":"tag-real-betis"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/spain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/13947","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/spain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/spain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/spain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/spain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=13947"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/spain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/13947\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/spain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/13948"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/spain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=13947"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/spain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=13947"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/spain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=13947"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
