Barcelona rule out move for 24-year-old former winger – Report | OneFootball

Although not at the top of their priority list, one area of their team that FC Barcelona might look to strengthen in the upcoming summer transfer window is the left wing, especially as the future of Marcus Rashford with the Catalan club is highly uncertain.

As a result, the Blaugrana side has been linked with several wingers in the last few weeks, including with one of their former players, i.e., Ez Abde, who currently plays for Real Betis.

However, these links have been quick to cool down, as SPORT cites 365scores to report that some sources from the club inform them that these links have been “totally unfounded”.

These sources went on to clarify that the club is looking for other profiles to strengthen their wings, and also revealed that the Blaugranes do not have any buyback or preferential rights on the 24-year-old winger.

Meanwhile, some Premier League sides, mainly Newcastle United and Aston Villa, are interested in the forward, with the former already having sent an emissary to Spain to closely follow the player. Real Betis are open to listening to offers for the Moroccan, despite having qualified for the UCL.

Barcelona, for their part, have closed the door on a return for Ez Abde, but would remain abreast of any developments taking place with him owing to their good relationship with Real Betis.
