FC Barcelona remain attentive to the possible departure of Ousmane Dembele and the sporting toll it could potentially end up taking on La Blaugrana as they prepare a formidable side for the upcoming season.
The Frenchman’s peculiar qualities and unsettling nature when on the ball were a very valuable asset to FC Barcelona and particularly Xavi Hernandez, who considered the winger one of his absolute key pieces in this Barcelona squad.
A departure to French club Paris Saint-Germain does seem to be getting more and more imminent as the days pass, and Barcelona will be in urgent need of a replacement to take over from Dembele.
One player that speculation suggests will be quite eager to take on such an opportunity and formally get the chance to show off his own qualities is Moroccan winger Ez Abde, as per Spanish outlet Mundo Deportivo.
The winger continues to showcase his own unnerving set of dribbling qualities that allow him to unsettle defenders and produce moments of magic, such as the run he produced against Arsenal in the 5-3 defeat for FC Barcelona.
Moreover, his loan last season at CA Osasuna remains a strong demonstration of his consistency throughout the entire season. Under manager Jagoba Arrasate, the 21-year-old helped Osasuna achieve various objectives, including helping them reach the Copa Del Ray final last season.
However, now that Ousmane Dembele is potentially set to leave for PSG, Barcelona, and Xavi remain insistent that Abde stays with La Blaugrana for next season despite earlier reports that he could potentially be leaving.
As of this moment, it is reported by MD that Spanish side Real Betis is the outfit most interested in the Moroccan international. However, for now, it seems Barcelona will continue to test the winger out and await the conclusion on Dembele’s potential departure before giving the Moroccan a decisive answer.
