Ez Abde Receives a €43 Million Offer from Everton
Ez Abde, a 24-year-old Moroccan winger, received an offer of €43 million from Everton in the final hours of the Real Betis transfer market, but the proposal was ultimately rejected. Real Betis, who has the player under contract until 2029, referred to his €60 million release clause and kept the attacker in their squad for this season of LaLiga.
The English offer consisted of €35 million fixed and an additional €8 million in variables. Despite being close to the release clause amount, the Betis sports management decided not to negotiate a departure a few hours before the deadline without sufficient time to find a replacement.

Ez Abde Receives €43 Million Offer from Everton
Everton initiated the operation after several attacking alternatives fell through on the last day of the market. The English club had progressed with Folarin Balogun, but the signing of the Monaco forward fell through even after he had undergone a medical examination.
Liverpool's team had also created economic space with the departures of Beto to Fiorentina and Iliman Ndiaye to Manchester City. Before turning to Ez Abde, they also tried to progress with Joshua Zirkzee of Manchester United and Tammy Abraham from Aston Villa.
The Betis winger had previously attracted interest from other Premier League teams. Newcastle and Aston Villa had been monitoring his situation, while Crystal Palace also considered making a move for him in the final stages of the summer.
None of those options materialized into a transfer. The only concrete known offer at the deadline was Everton's for €43 million, an amount Betis deemed insufficient compared to the €60 million set in his release clause.

Real Betis Safeguards One of Their Attackers
The rejection was also due to the timing of the offer. With the LaLiga market about to close, the club would have had very little time to reinvest part of those earnings in acquiring a replacement for Ez Abde. Everton was not the only one to inquire about Abde.
The sports management did consider possible alternatives due to the risk of receiving an offer. Among them was Yeremay Hernández, a winger from Deportivo de La Coruña, for whom Betis inquired about during the final stretch of the market.
There is also an economic condition in any future sale. FC Barcelona, the club from which Abde joined Betis in 2023, retains a percentage of any subsequent transfer of the player. Current information places that participation at around 20%, although the final percentage depends on the economic conditions of the transaction.
Betis initially paid €7.5 million for 50% of the rights of the Moroccan international when they signed him from Barcelona. They later increased their stake in the player, but the Catalan club retained economic rights linked to any future sale.
With the English market now closed, Ez Abde will continue at Real Betis and remain available to compete in LaLiga. His €60 million release clause now serves as a reference for clubs interested in him in the future, with the next transfer market in January 2027 as the first opportunity to potentially resume negotiations.
