In the final minutes of the transfer window, FC Barcelona completed the transfer of Ez Abde to Real Betis. The young Moroccan attacker decided to make the move in search of a more prominent role in Manuel Pellegrini’s team. However, new information shows that Barcelona are not saying goodbye to Abde for good as they have secured a buyback option for a substantial amount.
The terms of the first transfer saw a fixed payment of €7.5m from Real Betis, with Barcelona reserving 50% of the player’s rights in the event of a future sale. However, according to journalist Adrià Albets, Barcelona have negotiated a buyback option for Abde for a total of €20m. This amount is for the remaining 50% of the player’s rights and Real Betis would receive 20% of any capital gains in the event of a future transfer to another club.
The amount Barcelona would have to pay to get Abde back
The €20m buyback option represents an affordable opportunity for Barcelona, especially given the current market and what other Premier League clubs could offer the talented Moroccan winger. This clause allows Barcelona to remain in control of Abde’s development and have the option of using him again in the future if his potential is confirmed.
Meanwhile, Abde will have a chance to shine at Real Betis where he is expected to play an important role in Pellegrini’s team. The Andalusian team will compete in both the Champions League and Europa League and will face the likes of Rangers, Sparta Prague and Aris Limassol in Group C.
This agreement between Barcelona and Real Betis underscores the confidence in Abde’s talent and the importance of ensuring his long-term development. Barcelona fans will be watching the young Moroccan player’s progress and the possibility of his return in the future.
