Bayer Leverkusen prioritising Barcelona youngster to boost their attack this summer

Barcelona will be on the lookout for a left-winger in the summer transfer window as Ansu Fati and Ferran Torres’ performances over the last season have not gone down well with the Camp Nou faithful.

As such, they have been keeping tabs on Yannick Carrasco, who will be available to them for a discounted price of €21 million in the summer. The Catalans reached an agreement with Atletico Madrid as part of the deal that saw Memphis Depay go to the Spanish capital.

Apart from Carrasco, Barcelona are also ready to bet on Ez Abde. The winger, currently on loan at Osasuna for the 2022/23 season, will rejoin the Catalans in the summer of 2023.

The sporting staff is impressed with his performances on loan, and will be a part of the first-team dynamics unless a ‘huge’ offer arrives.

That offer might be on its way soon, though, as Santi Aouna reports Bayer Leverkusen are considering Abde to reinforce their attack this summer.

The Moroccan ticks all the boxes for their summer transfer targets, and Leverkusen coach Xabi Alonso ‘greatly appreciates’ his profile.

Further, with Moussa Diaby and Amine Adli expected to leave the club Bundesliga at the end of the season, Leverkusen will want to replace their place in the team as quickly as possible.

There are several teams interested in Abde for this summer, and Leverkusen will have to fight them. Recent reports have stated that Barcelona have received two massive offers for the 21-year-old — one from the Premier League and one from La Liga.

Further, SPORT also reported that Barcelona had already decided to sell Abde amid interest from Premier League and the Bundesliga.
