Barcelona have looked to cash in on a number of young talents in recent summers, with the likes of Ez Abde, Chadi Riad, Mikayil Faye and Julian Araujo all leaving this summer.
Just two days after beating AZ Alkmaar at home in the Europa League, Tottenham Hotspur are back in action in the Premier League. A London Derby of sorts sees them face Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park on Sunday, October 27th, at 14:00 local time in the matchday nine fixture.
Barcelona have been trying to make sales all summer, but so far, only Chadi Riad’s move to Crystal Palace and Marc Guiu’s switch to Chelsea have brought €15m into their accounts.
Because of the departures of Chadi Riad and Sokratis, it is essential for Real Betis to sign centre-backs during the ongoing summer transfer window. Fortunately, they’re about to close the first of two planned arrivals.
Having already lost Chadi Riad and Sokratis ahead of the summer transfer window opening, it is essential for Real Betis to recruit at least two centre-backs ahead of next season.
Real Betis have reportedly reached an agreement to sell Chadi Riad to Crystal Palace, after an excellent debut season in senior football from the Moroccan international.
Following the news that Chadi Riad is edging closer to leaving Real Betis after just one season, moves are already being made by Los Verdiblancos to secure a replacement.
Barcelona may be closing in on their first income of the transfer window, as Real Betis defender Chadi Riad looks set for a move to the Premier League.
Barcelona will be desperate to make as much money as possible in the coming months, as they aim to return to La Liga’s 1:1 rule, which would allow them to sign players during the summer transfer window without any financial restrictions.
Moroccan international Chadi Riad did not take long to start impressing at Real Betis following his €1.5m loan move from Barcelona. More or less since his first start, he has continued to do so whenever available for Manuel Pellegrini.
Barcelona are already planning to make one move this summer, and that is for Chadi Riad. The 20-year-old defender joined Real Betis on loan with a mandatory option to buy, although the Catalan giants retained a buy-back clause as part of the agreement.
Barcelona will spend money on a central defender this summer, despite it arguably being the position they have covered best in their squad currently. This of course suggests that one or two could leave at the same time.
Real Betis were the La Liga side with the most players with the most players away at the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations, which is currently still going on.
Towards the end of 2023, it was reported that Barcelona would be re-signing Chadi Riad in the summer. The Moroccan youngster joined Real Betis at the start of the season with a loan deal with an obligation to buy, but the Catalans have already announced their intention to trigger the buyback clause that exists in the deal.
Barcelona have made a decision on their first signing for next summer, according to recent reports in Catalonia. Moroccan central defender Chadi Riad looks as if he will be returning to the club after spending the season on loan at Real Betis.
