Barcelona, Real Betis believe that deal for 21-year-old youngster can be completed

With the deadline day drama unfolding, Barcelona find themselves in the thick of action as they push to complete multiple operations.

One of the pressing matters on the agenda at Barça is the future of young winger Ez Abde.

The 21-year-old winger is keen on securing an exit as he wishes for regular game-time, something Xavi and Barcelona are not ready to guarantee.

Real Betis have emerged as the most likely destination for the winger, who is tempted by the prospect of a move to Estadio Benito Villamarin.

Both clubs believe deal can be done

As far as Barcelona are concerned, they are unwilling to sanction a loan exit for Abde and would only consider a permanent exit.

But Real Betis need some exits before they can make an offer that is to the satisfaction of the La Liga champions.

Despite that, both clubs believe that a deal for Abde’s transfer can be struck on the deadline day, reports Toni Juanmarti.

Betis, after all, are closing in on sanctioning the departures of Paul Akouokou and Luiz Felipe, to Olympique Lyon and Saudi Arabia, respectively.

Once those departures are completed, it should create room for Los Verdiblancos to make a move for Abde.

Agreement with Abde already in place

Earlier this month, we had already reported that Abde already has an agreement in place with Real Betis and he has been waiting for the two clubs to find common ground over the operation.

As such, with both Betis and Barcelona now believing that an operation can be done, it should pave the way for Abde to secure a move.

Betis are working out the best possible offer to convince Barcelona, with reports suggesting that they would be open to offering €10 million in exchange for 50% of the young winger’s rights.
