Ez Abde has renewed his contract with Betis until 2029. Barça retains 50% of any future sale and the player is being followed by the Premier League and the Bundesliga

Ez Abde has found a place at Real Betis. After an irregular first year, the Moroccan has 'exploded' in Seville and has become an undisputed player for Manuel Pellegrini, where he has scored 4 goals in 15 games this season. For this reason, the Verdiblancos have taken the decision to 'protect' him for the future and improved his contract, which has been extended until 2029.

For its part, FC Barcelona maintains 50% of the player's future sale, waiting for some millionaire proposal to arrive that will bring in a significant amount. A scenario that does not seem very far away given the brutal performance of the winger this season.

The player has a reputation outside of Spain

In this way, Betis maintains control and peace of mind over the future of an Abde who, almost certainly, will be showered with offers next summer. According to 'SPORT', the Premier League, the Bundesliga and also Saudi Arabia are keeping a close eye on him and there could be moves around him at the end of the season, and even during the winter transfer market.

Despite this, the player's priority, as of today, would be to continue playing at Benito Villamarín, although a million-dollar offer could make him change his mind. If it happens, Barça could get a significant 'cut' for a player who landed in Barcelona for 2 million euros and was transferred to Andalusia for seven million euros.
