Moroccan Abdel Samad Zalzouli left Barcelona during the last summer transfer period, to Real Betis, in exchange for 7.5 million euros, in light of his not getting enough playing minutes under the leadership of coach Xavi Hernandez.
At the beginning of the current season with Barcelona, Zalzouli appeared for 45 minutes against Getafe in the first round of La Liga, then participated for 22 minutes against Cadiz, before sitting on the bench throughout the match against Villarreal in the third round, deciding to leave on the last days of the summer Mercato.
Xavi said at the time, “Abdel Samad wants to be present mainly, I don’t know if he will get that at Betis!”, and it seems that the prophecy came true.

Al-Zalzouli moved to Betis to participate in 14 league matches (only 2 starting), but he did not complete any match until the end in the local competition, unlike the European League, where he played 4 basic matches (out of 6 in the group stage), completing only one until the end, and scoring a goal. In La Liga and another in the Europa League.
The 22-year-old did not perform as expected with Betis in the first half of the season, under the leadership of coach Manuel Pellegrini, which makes the bill for him joining the Moroccan national team in the upcoming African Cup of Nations not prohibitive for the Spanish club.
