It’s confirmation season for Abdessamad Ezzalzouli, simply known as Abde on the other side of the Pyrenees. The 24-year-old winger has scored 9 goals and 8 assists in 27 La Liga matches. The Moroccan international, winner of the CAN this winter, has therefore become one of Betis’ biggest assets, with more than convincing performances in addition to his good stats line, and therefore has good odds in the transfer window.
Betis, who recruited him from FC Barcelona in 2023 for 7 million euros, are therefore preparing to make a nice added value. A few weeks ago, the Spanish press even mentioned the biggest sale in the history of the Andalusian club, ahead of those of Lo Celso to Tottenham (€32 million) or Fabian Ruiz to Naples (€30 million). And Mundo Deportivo says a little more, a month and a half before the opening of the summer transfer window.
Beautiful people on it
We thus learn that FC Barcelona has received information on his situation. The Catalans were already thinking of him as an alternative to Marcus Rashford, and therefore recently took action. Proof that they are seriously considering repatriating their former player. The Blaugranas still have 20% of his rights, as well as a resale percentage, which could considerably reduce the amount of a possible transfer of the player under contract until 2029. And that’s not all, since Newcastle and Aston Villa are also interested in a transfer this summer.
Good performances during the World Cup with the Atlas Lions could arouse new desires, and see his value explode, while his release clause is 60 million euros. However, the qualification of Betis for the next Champions League could change things for the player, who could thus be tempted to stay. Especially since the Sevillian team would not necessarily need to make big sales with the income linked to participation in the European competition. Still to be continued…
