On Sunday it was revealed that the amount that Barça will have to pay to recover Abde is 20 million. But on Tuesday another nuance came: the right of repurchase is only valid for the end of the first two seasons, that is, for the summers of 2024 and 2025.
This Wednesday there is a new contribution. If FC Barcelona exercises the option of repurchase after the second season, the agreed price rises to 25 million euros, according to MD from sources close to the Betic club. After the second year, Barça will no longer have the option to buy back Abde.
In addition, in the event that FC Barcelona decides to exercise the option of repurchase by Abde, either after the first season or the second, Real Betis retains 20% of the capital gain from a subsequent sale. That is, if Barça buys back the first year from Addepor 20 million from Betis and then sells it for 50, Betis would be entitled to enter 6 million more (20% of the capital gain of 30) and it would be 26 million for Betis and 24 for Barcelona.
If Barça exercises the option of repurchase in the second year, it must pay Betis 25 million euros. If it then sold the player for 60 million, for example, Betis would receive 7 million more (25+7=32) and the Barcelona club would earn 3 million in the operation, since it would pay 25 to Betis and earn 28 million net of the sale for 60.

Real Madrid - Fran Garcia
21/22 -> Rayo - 2m
23/24 <- Madrid - 5m
I guess our Abde deal is closer to the Kubo deal though with both being attackers.
Real Madrid - Kubo
22/23 -> Sociedad - 6.5m
-Buyback clause (without expiry)
-50% sell on clause (effectively making the buyback 30m)
-No % of capital games to Sociedad incase Madrid buyback and re-sale.
Basically Abde will never be back. But we're absolutely horrible at structuring deals. I was going to say that this happens when it is not coming from the owners pocket since we're member owned. But then you can see how much better Madrid's deal structures are.
Also, I bet we got capital gains % put into the Nico deal too.
