Agent of Real Betis star denies talks with Paris Saint-Germain

Real Betis winger Ez Abde has dismissed speculation linking him with a move to Paris Saint-Germain after his agent, Javier Garrido, categorically denied reports that negotiations have taken place between the two parties.

Abde, 24, is enjoying the most productive campaign of his career, registering nine goals and six assists in 27 appearances across all competitions. The Morocco international’s new-found consistency has turned heads across Europe, with Premier League clubs already circling during the January window and fresh claims surfacing that PSG had opened talks over a summer switch.

Garrido moved quickly to quash the French outlet’s story. “Everything that has been said about this meeting is completely false,” he told reporters. “Ez Abde is staying at Real Betis, where he has three more years left on his contract and it is very difficult for him to leave. The season is still ongoing and the player is fully focused on Betis. Nobody knows what can happen in the summer transfer market.”

Betis will be desperate to retain a player whose explosive dribbling and direct running have become central to their attacking output, yet the Andalusian club know that sustained excellence between now and May could invite firmer offers. Barcelona, meanwhile, are poised to benefit from any departure: the Catalan giants negotiated a 20 per cent sell-on clause when they allowed Abde to join Betis, meaning a lucrative summer sale would boost their own transfer coffers.

With La Liga’s run-in intensifying and the Moroccan wide man determined to help his side push for European qualification, Abde’s immediate priority remains in Seville. Whether that stance survives the close-season whirlwind of the transfer window is a narrative that will gather pace with every eye-catching performance.
