Premier League club ‘crazy’ about Barcelona winger, Atletico Madrid also interested

Barcelona loanee Ez Abde has been the talk of the town over the past few days after his brilliant brace for Osasuna which helped them secure a 2-1 comeback victory over Elche this past weekend.

Ever since, there has been a lot of clamour for the winger to be given a chance at Barcelona next season. Manager Xavi Hernandez also hinted at the possibility during his presser on Sunday, claiming that the 21-year-old can be an important player for the future.

However, Abde’s future is dependent on other factors such as the offers that he attracts in the summer and the other potential incomings and outgoings at the club in the summer.

It was reported earlier today that Abde was attracting a lot of attention from clubs in the Premier League.

Building on that, SPORT is now reporting that Wolverhampton Wanderers are ‘crazy’ about Abde and wish to sign the Moroccan international in the summer transfer window.

Managed by former Spain boss Julen Lopetegui, it is claimed that Wolves are mad about Abde and want a player of his qualities to reinforce their attacking line. To that end, they have let the player know of their interest through superagent Jorge Mendes.

However, Wolves are not the only team showing interest in Abde.

La Liga heavyweights Atletico Madrid are also said to be monitoring the former Hercules CF winger. Manager Diego Simeone is understood to be a great admirer of his talents and the Rojiblancos have already approached his entourage to test the waters over a summer move.

Given Barcelona’s financial position, there is a need to sell players and Abde’s exit is not ruled out, especially if a noteworthy offer arrives. However, the player is keen to play for Barcelona and succeed at the club.

So, it will be interesting to see what the future holds for Abde, who has five goals and two assists in 26 games for Osasuna this term.
