Real Betis are growing increasingly concerned that holding on to Ez Abde beyond this season may prove difficult, with Premier League clubs reportedly circling.

Premier League Clubs Monitor Abde

According to Fichajes, the Morocco international’s form has reignited top-flight English interest. The 24-year-old has become a key attacking figure under Manuel Pellegrini, and Betis expect fresh approaches.

His contract runs until 2029 and includes a €60 million release clause. That offers protection, but Premier League sides have the finances to test it. Everton had a €43 million package, including add-ons, rejected last summer. Newcastle United and Aston Villa are also reportedly keeping tabs on him.

Why Everton, Villa and Newcastle Need a Winger

Everton need creativity after Iliman Ndiaye’s exit. Villa’s interest reflects Alejandro Garnacho’s limited game time, while Newcastle are weighing up life after Jacob Murphy.

Abde’s Form Drives Up His Value

Abde delivered 14 goals and 13 assists in 42 appearances last season, and his strong start to this campaign, including a Champions League goal against Porto, has boosted his price tag. Barcelona hold a 20% sell-on clause, so a €60 million exit would send roughly €12 million to Camp Nou.

Our Take: Betis Should Stand Firm

Betis face no financial pressure, so they should resist anything short of the full clause. Abde is hitting his peak, and replacing his output would be far harder than reinvesting the fee. The real risk is a bid that matches the clause and leaves them little room to refuse.
