Serie A giants Juventus recently approached Barcelona over a possible summer move for 21-year-old promising winger Ez Abde.
According to a report by Italian outlet Tutto Mercato Web, Ez Abde is the subject of interest from Juventus. And the Serie A giants have already approached Barceona over a possible move in the summer transfer window. The Blaugrana will demand €15 million to part ways with the 21-year-old promising winger.
Abde Ezzalzouli, better known as Ez Abde, rose to prominence during his stint with Hercules. He even represented the club’s first team before moving to Barcelona in July 2021. But while the Moroccan international made his first-team debut for Barcelona in the 2021/22 season, regular opportunities have come few and far between.
The 21-year-old spent the 2022/23 season on loan at Osasuna. And Abde’s stature gradually soared, as he chipped in with six goals and two assists in 34 appearances for Osasuna. But the promising young winger has returned to Barcelona after the end of his loan stint. However, he faces an uncertain future at the Catalan club.
Ousmane Dembele, Raphinha, Ferran Torres, and Ansu Fati should all be ahead of him in the pecking order. And with none of the wide attackers any close to leaving Barcelona, Abde’s prospects do not seem bright. And recent reports have linked him with clubs like Bayer Leverkusen and Aston Villa, among others. But Juventus will look to beat the competition to his signature.
The Serie A giants have already approached Barcelona to discuss the possibility of a summer move. Juventus also enquired about Abde’s price tag among other crucial details. Meanwhile, the interest in the Moroccan international is understandable, considering the uncertainties surrounding Federico Chiesa’s future.
The Italian international might not be at the Allianz Stadium beyond the summer transfer window. And recent reports have linked the 25-year-old with several Premier League clubs, including Chelsea. So it behoves Juventus to invest in a high-potential replacement, bringing Ez Abde into the picture.
The report claims Barcelona will demand €15 million to part ways with the promising 21-year-old winger. And it will be interesting to see if Juventus will be ready to stump up the cash to secure Abde’s services. But with the Bianconeri not playing in Europe next season, it is unclear if the youngster will accept a move.
