"Barcelona's long-standing strategy of retaining a percentage of future sales in outgoing players has proven to be one of the club's most effective financial levers in recent years. And once again, this policy looks set to pay off. As reported by SPORT, former Barça winger Ez Abde is beginning to attract major interest from across Europe, potentially bringing fresh income to the Catalan club thanks to their retained sell-on clause."
"It must be noted that Abde left Barcelona in the summer of 2023 after recognising that consistent minutes would be difficult to secure amid fierce competition in the squad. Determined to accelerate his development, he requested a move and accepted Real Betis' offer. The fellow La Liga side paid €7.5 million for 50% of his rights, giving the young winger a stage where he could play regularly and evolve without the pressure of the Camp Nou."
Barcelona's strategy of retaining a percentage of future transfer fees remains a key financial lever. Ez Abde left Barcelona in summer 2023 for Real Betis after seeking regular minutes. Betis paid €7.5 million for 50% of his rights, providing a platform for development. Under Manuel Pellegrini this season Abde has become a central figure, appearing 17 times across competitions and recording six goals and five assists. Several major European clubs are reportedly monitoring him. Barcelona currently holds 20% of any future sale after reducing their share to facilitate Vitor Roque's transfer arrangements. A future sale could generate notable revenue.
