Troy Parrott’s €100m release clause at Betis

Troy Parrott is setting the tone for Real Betis, and with goals coming thick and fast, his contract is already drawing headlines. As Mundo Deportivo reports, the club has set Troy Parrott’s release clause at €100 million after his move this summer.

The Irish forward wasted little time making an impact. Last Friday he scored the 1-0 at La Cartuja against Real Madrid, and this Tuesday he delivered again during Betis’ European evening. In Lille, Parrott netted the 2-3 that gave Los Verdiblancos a winning start in the 2026/27 Champions League.

Goals and quick adaptation

Mundo Deportivo also underlines the context: Parrott arrived from AZ Alkmaar, where he had scored 31 goals the previous season across all competitions, and 17 the year before. In this campaign’s early stretch, the article says he has one LaLiga goal in 98 minutes played across three matches, plus the Champions League strike from Lille.

The write-up describes the finish in detail: he received an inside pass from Riquelme, beat Nathan Ngoy with a bicycle kick, changed pace sharply, and then beat Berke Özer with a low, precise left-footed shot.

Betis mania back in Ireland

Beyond Spain, the impact is being felt back in Ireland. The article notes that Parrott is a star for the national team there, that Betis matches are being followed by thousands of fans, and that many are already planning trips to Seville to catch him at La Cartuja.

On the transfer itself, Mundo Deportivo states that Betis bought Parrott for €16+4 million from AZ Alkmaar and set that €100 million release clause, citing information from El Desmarque. The piece also mentions Bartra’s comment about “manipulated images” in a separate context.
