Ez Abde has been frequently in the news related to FC Barcelona in the last few days. The Moroccan has attracted the interest of multiple sides across Europe, and he has a high demand in the current market.
Abde returned to FC Barcelona after a loan stint at Osasuna this summer. He has been featuring in Barcelona pre-season and competitive matches, but despite impressing Xavi with his skills, the Catalan club is open to letting him leave if a good offer arrives.
Abde wants to stay in Spain
Previously, it was reported here that Bayer Leverkusen is the most strongly interested team in the Moroccan international, and the Germans are willing to offer as much as €20 million for him.
However, Helena Condis now updates that Abde has informed Barcelona higher-ups that he wants to stay at the Catalan club, but if he has to leave on loan, he would prefer to play in Spain.
As reported just recently by Gerard Romero, the 21-year-old Moroccan winger has already rejected an enticing offer from a Saudi Arabian club willing to offer around €20 million to Barcelona in exchange for his services.
Three Spanish clubs interested in Abde
In Spain, the report mentions three teams that are interested in the winger. Firstly, there is Osasuna, the club where Abde spent the last season on loan. This loan was a highly productive experience for Abde, as he not only established himself as a starter at the club, but also helped Osasuna get into the final of Copa del Rey.
Sevilla is also interested in the winger, as is Real Betis. All these three clubs have an alluring project underway, and Abde will have an important role to play in all these teams.
Everything is currently open for Abde, and the player can also leave for another loan this summer. Xavi likes Abde a lot, and he would also prefer having ownership of Abde while he develops with another Spanish team, and gains further experience in La Liga.
