Real Betis Refuses to Rush Ez Abde Sale, Demands €60 Million

Real Betis' management is reportedly in no hurry to part ways with Moroccan international Abde Ezzalzouli, despite interest from several clubs. Club officials are confident that his market value is set to increase further following his anticipated participation with the Moroccan national team in the 2026 World Cup finals.

According to the Spanish newspaper 'abc', Betis has set a €60 million asking price for Ezzalzouli, a figure that matches the release clause in the player's contract.

Officials at the Spanish club believe Ezzalzouli's current value far exceeds current transfer market assessments, especially after the significant development he demonstrated last season, both in terms of statistics and on-field impact.

The player's transfer is also complicated by Barcelona retaining a percentage of future profits from any sale, which prompts Betis to demand a high fee to ensure a suitable financial return from the player's departure.

For his part, Ezzalzouli is not pressuring his club's management to leave. Information from Spain suggests that the player prefers to continue with Real Betis and compete in the Champions League next season, especially after becoming one of the key pillars in coach Manuel Pellegrini's squad.

The same sources confirm that Ezzalzouli would only consider leaving the team for a major European club capable of competing for domestic and continental titles, which reduces the number of clubs able to sign him during the current transfer window.

While Betis awaits the player's performance in the World Cup finals, club officials believe his brilliance with the Moroccan national team could prompt major clubs to submit offers closer to the release clause, potentially paving the way for a historic deal for the Andalusian club.
