Real Betis ready to offer €10 million to secure 50% rights of Barcelona youngster

Barcelona are bracing themselves for an extremely busy transfer deadline day, as they not only look to sign new players but also negotiate the exit of the existing stars.

One of the players linked with a move away from the club is Ez Abde, who has been courted by a series of clubs in the final week of the market.

Real Betis, in particular, have expressed the desire to sign the attacker as they look to reinforce their ranks in the offensive unit.

Real Betis ready to pay €10 million for 50% player rights

Although many clubs are interested in Ez Abde, Barcelona have indicated that they only want to sell the attacker on a permanent deal, keeping in mind the club are set to sanction the loan exit of Ansu Fati as well.

With that in mind, Real Betis are willing to buy 50% of Abde’s rights for a fee of around €10 million, reports Gerard Romero.

This essentially means Real Betis will pay €10 million to Barcelona to maintain 50% of Abde’s transfer rights. As such, Barça would be liable to receive half the amount of his future sale.

Alternatively, the Catalans will also be eligible to sign Abde for half the market price, quite similar to what Real Madrid did with Fran Garcia earlier in the year.

Two paths for Ez Abde

In the midst of speculation, Ez Abde is considering only two possible scenarios, reports Helena Condis.

It appears the Barcelona attacker would either leave Barcelona on a permanent deal or continue his spell in Catalonia.

Xavi, for his part, wants Abde to remain a part of the team, as he does rate the Moroccan international quite highly.

With Fati leaving, Abde’s services could be useful, even though the forward has yet to make a start in the new season so far.
