Roma preparing move for Barcelona winger Abde Ezzalzouli
Abde Ezzalzouli is the winger that Roma are reportedly looking at to bolster their attacking options.
According to the football transfer rumours in British media, Roma are preparing move for Barcelona winger Abde Ezzalzouli.
The Morocco international joined Barcelona from Hércules for a fee in the region of 2 million euros in August 2021. His contract expires in the summer of 2024.
The winger has featured in 27 matches this term, netting 2 goals and providing 6 assists in all competitions.
He has long been touted as one of Morocco’s most promising young talents.
The Morocco international is believed to be available for transfer, with José Mourinho now keen to bring him to Roma.
AS Roma have earmarked Barcelona winger as their target, with José Mourinho being a ‘huge admirer’ of the player.
The report claims that Roma manager has extensively scouted Ezzalzouli and is considering a move for the winger.
The La Liga player is highly talented and he has a big future ahead of himself. His versatile nature can help the manager to be more flexible with the formations.
According to the report, “Roma are interested in Barcelona winger Eze Abde. Il Corriere dello Sport says Roma are planning a bid for the youngster. Roma hope to do business for €10m with Barca for Abde. Barca management accept Abde will struggle for regular action next season and would be prepared to sell him – so long as a buy-back option was included. Abde made his debut for Barca earlier this season under former coach Ronald Koeman.”
Euro Football Rumours
Barcelona are not in a position where they need to sell and would like to keep hold of the winger, but right offer may force the club to consider a deal.
If Roma can tie up a cheap deal for the player, it may not be a bad signing by any means.
Good signing for Roma?
If Ezzalzouli is available for the right price, then he could be a clever acquisition for Roma.
Abde Ezzalzouli has all the skillset required to be a success story at Roma. Therefore, it makes sense for Mourinho to step up his attempts to bring the Morocco winger to Serie A side.
Stylistically, he would be a great fit in Roma.
It will be interesting to see what happens when Roma come calling for Ezzalzouli this summer.
