Torah Temimah cites Sifra / Kiddushin 21a.

גְּאֻלָּה תִּהְיֶה לּוֹ. מְלַמֵּד שֶׁיֵּשׁ לוֹ גְּאֻלָּה.

English: “There shall be redemption for him.” This teaches that he has a right of redemption.

Classical derasha (Sifra / Bavli Kiddushin).

A Hebrew servant sold to a non-Jew retains the right to be redeemed; the duty falls first upon his relatives.
