Barcelona set for major windfall as former winger attracts serious interest

If that happens, Barcelona would stand to receive a windfall of €12 million from the transfer.

Real Betis currently hold 80% of the player’s rights after purchasing 50% from Barcelona for €7.5 million in 2023. In February 2025, the Catalans transferred an additional 30% as part of the agreement related to the termination of Vitor Roque’s loan.

As such, Barça still retain 20% of Abde’s economic rights. And with Betis pointing interested parties towards his €60 million release clause, the Blaugrana could receive 20% of that sum, i.e., €12 million in the summer.

Interestingly, Barcelona had been considering re-signing Abde to reinforce the left wing, with a permanent move for Marcus Rashford deemed unlikely.

However, things have gone quiet on that front of late, with the club looking at other options such as Jan Virgili.
