Ez Abde, a 24-year-old Moroccan winger, will continue as a Real Betis player after the Verdiblancos rejected a €43 million offer from Everton at the end of the transfer window. This decision prevents FC Barcelona from earning up to €8.6 million, as they retain a 20% share of any future sale of the player.

The English proposal was structured with €35 million fixed and an additional €8 million in variables, still far from the €60 million release clause defined in his contract. Betis chose to keep Abde to face a season that includes Champions League participation.

Ez Abde Could Have Brought €8.6 Million to FC Barcelona

The deal had direct economic consequences for FC Barcelona. The club currently holds a 20% share of any future sale of Ez Abde's economic rights, having transferred the player to Betis in 2023 for €7.5 million.

If Everton had paid the proposed €43 million, Barça could have received around €8.6 million if the percentage applied to the full amount. Considering only the €35 million fixed amount, the initial income would have been about €7 million.

Barça had envisioned this scenario within a summer where they exceeded €100 million in revenue from sales and rights related to former players. Ultimately, Abde's stay leaves that percentage pending for future transfer windows.

Everton's offer was not the sole interest from the Premier League. Newcastle, Aston Villa, and Crystal Palace also tracked the player in recent months but none met his €60 million release clause.

Real Betis Holds on to Abde After His 14-Goal Season

Real Betis' stance is supported by the player's performance last season. Abde ended the 2025/26 season with 14 goals and 13 assists in 42 matches, his best stats to date.

The winger's contract runs until 2029, so Betis was not obligated to accept an offer below his release clause. His market value currently stands around €30 million, while Betis continues to refer to €60 million as a negotiating reference for any potential exit.

Abde also had to overcome an ankle injury in recent months that kept him out of the World Cup. His recovery extended through the summer, impacting his preparation, but he has gradually returned to training and competition.

His continuity keeps a scenario open that may reappear in upcoming transfer windows. The Premier League has shown interest, and Betis holds contractual control until 2029. If a new offer for Ez Abde arrives, FC Barcelona will retain a 20% share, potentially bringing back the €8.6 million not received this summer.
