Alex Collado leaving Real Betis?
Mundo Deportivo reports on Álex Collado's imminent transfer to Qatar, which could benefit Barcelona financially. Álex Collado is close to completing a move to Qatar, which would earn Barcelona half a million euros for 20% of his transfer rights.
Mundo Deportivo reported that Real Betis was close to completing the transfer of Álex Collado to a club in the Qatari league for 2.5 million euros. It was noted that FC Barcelona, which holds a 20% stake in the player's rights, would also gain financially from this transfer. Álex Collado had been signed by Real Betis following the specific recommendation of Ramón Planes, after he spent a year on loan at Elche and six months at Granada. He had joined Betis as a free agent from Barcelona, with his contract extending until 2029.
Álex Collado, after two consecutive loans to Al-Okhdood and Al-Kholood in the Saudi Pro League, is on the verge of being transferred to a club in Qatar. This move would allow Betis to round off the income they have been obtaining with the successive loans of the Catalan winger with a sale valued at around 2.5 million euros. Approximately 20% of this amount would go to Barcelona, with whom Betis shares the economic rights of the player. Collado was signed by Betis during Ramón Planes' tenure as sporting director but was loaned out to Saudi Arabia without playing for Betis.
Álex Collado's future needs to be resolved before the Saudi Pro League resumes due to interest from other clubs following his impressive performances during his loan at Al Kholood.
Real Betis has made official the loan of Álex Collado to Al-Kholood Club. The announcement was made on Thursday night by the newly promoted Saudi Pro League team. Al-Kholood will cover the entirety of Collado's salary and will also pay a small loan fee to Real Betis.
Al-Okhdood, where Álex Collado played on loan last season, has shown renewed interest in the player. Collado scored four goals and provided three assists in 33 matches for Al-Okhdood, helping them stay in the top tier of Saudi football.
Álex Collado, who signed with Real Betis from FC Barcelona last summer for six seasons until June 2029, is close to being loaned out to Al-Kholood, a newly promoted team in the Saudi Professional League. Negotiations for his loan are ongoing, with some details still to be finalized.
