Barcelona ‘very satisfied’ with on-loan winger, Wolves interested in him

Barcelona currently boast of several brilliant wingers in their arsenal, headlined by none other than Ousmane Dembele. The Frenchman put in an exceptional shift against Real Sociedad in the Copa del Rey quarters, and also scored the winner.

He faces competition from Raphinha, who was brought in this summer for nearly €60 million. The Brazilian has two goals and three assists in the league this season, along with three goals and four assists across the Champions League and Copa del Rey.

Ferran Torres and Ansu Fati are also clawing their way into the lineup, and while they have failed to cement their place in the lineup, have immense potential and a unique skill set.

Despite all this firepower, Barcelona have not forgotten a certain Ez Abde. According to SPORT, the club is, in fact, very satisfied with the winger, who is on loan at Osasuna currently.

The Moroccan has assisted two goals in 12 games in La Liga, an most recently scored a fantastic 99th-minute winner against Sevilla in the Copa del Rey.

Barcelona want to retain Abde in the first-team for next season. They will not sell him unless a ‘very good’ offer arrives. Wolverhampton Wanderers are one of the parties interested in signing him.

A left-winger by trade, Abde has a different skill-set compared to Fati and Ferran. Unlike the two, he is a ball-to-feet forward and does best when given the chance to take on players with space on the flank.

The 21-year-old got his breakthrough with the Barcelona senior team under Sergi Barjuan. He then continued to make his way into the lineup under Xavi, and scored his only goal for the club against none other than Osasuna themselves.

Abde is contracted to the seventh-placed outfit until the summer of 2023, but his Barcelona contract runs until 2026 and carries a €200 million release clause.
