Ez Abde Attracts European Interest, Barcelona Eyes Financial Gain from Sale
Discussions continue regarding the future of Moroccan international Abde Ezzalzouli, as interest in his services grows following his impressive performances with Real Betis, particularly with the summer transfer window approaching.
Real Betis holds 80% of the player's rights, having acquired half of his contract from Barcelona for €7.5 million in September 2023. Additionally, the Catalan club is set to receive an extra 30% in February 2025 as compensation for the early termination of Vitor Roque's loan.
Ezzalzouli's contract with Real Betis runs until 2029 and includes a release clause of €60 million. This comes amidst interest from several major European clubs, including Paris Saint-Germain, Liverpool, Napoli, Aston Villa, and Newcastle, according to "Mundo Deportivo" newspaper.
Should the release clause be activated, Barcelona would receive an additional €12 million, supplementing the €7.5 million they previously gained when signing the player from Spanish club Hércules for €2 million in the summer of 2021.
