Marca: Multiple EPL clubs interested in Abde; Barca retains partial ownership

Several teams are closely monitoring the Betis player, currently in the Africa Cup, and want to sign him during this transfer window.

Abde is a key player at Betis. A well-integrated footballer who this season has been an undisputed starter ahead of Riquelme on the left wing of Pellegrini's team. 

Now he is also succeeding with Morocco in the Africa Cup, and his level has not gone unnoticed. In fact, several Premier League teams have made a move to try to sign the Moroccan player in this very transfer window. 

Betis has the footballer well-protected with a contract until 2029, but a staggering offer from the Premier League (Tottenham has just paid 40 million for Gallagher to Atlético Madrid) could change things.

Betis paid around 7.5 million for 50% of the player from Barcelona, but then increased that percentage in the Vitor Roque deal. It doesn't have full ownership of the footballer, but it does have a very high percentage. Abde has also been one of the important players for the Moroccan national team in the Africa Cup. This afternoon's match against Nigeria, at its peak, is a new test for the organizers who are the heavy favorites to lift the trophy.

In Premier, they are closely monitoring the player, and several teams have shown interest. For now, the situation has not progressed further, but several top-tier teams have taken steps that could materialize in the coming days. Betis needs to raise funds to sign a center forward, but it's true that their intention was to part ways with players like Chimy, Bakambu, or Altimira. The fact is that money is key to closing a deal of this kind, because the player is happy in Sevilla and would only leave if the club considered it an irresistible offer.
