Barcelona hopes to raise money during the last weeks of the summer transfer window, because they will return to the 1: 1-rule of La Liga-Waardoor it will be more easily registered for the campaign 2025-26. The expected sale of Inaki Pena would generate much needed money, and there could be more on the way to the Spotify Camp Nou thanks to a former player.
Already this summer, Barcelona brought in money through countless clausules that are activated-with the most important see that € 8 million was raised of the € 40 million from Jean-Clair Todibo to West Ham United. And soon there could be a € 4 million on the way to the Catalan capital.
And that money could be generated by the sale of EZ Abde, where Gianluca di Marzio (via MD) reported that the Moroccan wing player attracts a strong interest from AS Roma.
Abde had a difficult summer because of an injury, which meant that he can hardly be seen during the preseason. And he could now be on his way from La Cartuja, where Betis will be stationed for the near future due to continuous renovation work at the Benito Villamarin. According to the report, Roma is willing to pay € 20 million, which would be a significant profit of the € 7.5 million that they paid two summers ago Barcelona.
After the sale of Abde in 2023, Barcelona negotiated a 50% clause with Betis, but that dropped to 20% earlier this year when the two clubs reached an agreement to allow Vorror Roque to shorten his loan period at Los Verdiblancos to complete a permanent transfer to Palmeiras. That is why the Catalans would miss € 6 million (from € 10 million to € 4 million) if the 23-year-old joins Roma in a deal of € 20 million.
It is still to be seen whether Abde leaves Betis, but Barcelona would certainly welcome it – especially if they yielded no less than € 4 million.
