Barcelona contacted by derby rivals for the loan signing of 20-year-old forward

Following the addition of Raphinha, coupled with the renewal of Ousmane Dembele, there are many players in the current Barcelona camp who are now facing an uncertain future at the club.

One of them is Abde Ezzalzouli, who had made an eye-catching breakthrough during the first half of last season by featuring in multiple La Liga matches. But his role in the team eventually got diminished after the January additions of Ferran Torres and Adama Traore.

Abde was eventually restricted to minutes for Barcelona Atletic, and his fate could be pretty much the same heading into the new season, especially after the capture of Raphinha and Dembele.

There is a possibility Abde may leave the club on loan in the summer, in search of better opportunities elsewhere. And it appears he has no shortage of suitors either, with Girona still maintaining interest in the winger, as per Mundo Deportivo.

The report suggests the newly-promoted La Liga outfit are keen on acquiring the services of Ez Abde on loan ahead of the new season. They want him to upgrade their options going forward and help the club survive in the rigours of the top-flight.

Girona have kept contact with Barça over the possibility to sign Abde in the summer. While the club have appeared apprehensive about offloading the youngster, a final decision is yet to be made.

The onus will be on Xavi to decide the future of the 20-year-old, who has shown immense potential. The player is currently training with the first team in the US, hoping to showcase his skills in training and in upcoming friendlies against the likes of Juventus and Real Madrid.

Girona, though, are determined to sign the winger and as we head closer to the start of the new season, it will be interesting to see what the future holds for the attacker this summer.
