Real Betis slap €60m price tag on Abde Ezzalzouli

Real Betis are determined to keep hold of Moroccan international Abde Ezzalzouli after slapping a €60 million price tag on the attacker.

The 24-year-old enjoyed an impressive campaign in Andalusia, attracting attention from several clubs ahead of the summer transfer window. However, Betis are under no immediate pressure to sell, with the Moroccan international still tied to a long-term contract.

According to reports in Spain, Betis officials believe Ezzalzouli’s value could rise even further over the coming months and are prepared to wait before making any decision on his future.

Interest in the winger is said to be coming from the Premier League, with Newcastle United, Aston Villa and Chelsea all monitoring his situation closely. Nevertheless, Betis would prefer to assess his performances on the international stage before opening the door to negotiations.

The Spanish outfit reportedly believe a strong showing from Ezzalzouli in upcoming major competitions could significantly increase his market value and spark further interest from some of Europe’s biggest teams.

Betis’ negotiating position is also strengthened by an agreement with FC Barcelona, which entitles the Catalan giants to a percentage of any future profit from the player’s sale. As a result, the Seville-based club are keen to secure the highest possible fee should they eventually sanction a transfer.

Despite the speculation, Ezzalzouli appears relaxed about his future. Reports suggest the Moroccan attacker is happy at Betis and remains focused on his development with the club.

The prospect of competing in European football next season is also believed to be an important factor for the winger, making a move less attractive unless it offers a compelling sporting project.

For now, Betis remain firm in their stance, and any club hoping to price Ezzalzouli away from Spain may have to meet the full €60 million valuation to make a deal happen.
