Barcelona winger wants to continue in La Liga if he leaves, three clubs interested

After a dramatic 4-3 victory against Villarreal in Barcelona’s most recent encounter earned three points for the club, it became increasingly clear that the Catalans possessed no shortage of options up front.

Even after the departure of Ousmane Dembele, the firepower in the front line has caused a surplus, with game time having to be split between many forwards.

As such, Ez Abde has been one of the players left with a decision to make in regard to his future before the transfer window is closed.

Abde is committed to Barcelona and La Liga

Now, according to SPORT, the Moroccan is determined to stay and succeed with Barcelona, but in the event he has to leave, he will only play in La Liga.

Previously, reports began to do the rounds regarding Abde potentially joining the Bundesliga, as Bayer Leverkusen were willing to offer €20 million to Barcelona for the services of the tricky winger.

However, Abde has no intention of leaving Spain amid interest from foreign clubs.

That said, he would potentially entertain the possibility of joining other top Spanish sides, who have also shown hints of interest in the 21-year-old starlet.

La Liga clubs have circled Abde

Despite Abde’s desire to stay put in Barcelona, he is aware of the competition in the squad, thanks to Ferran Torres’ improving form and the meteoric rise of Lamine Yamal.

In case Barça evaluates his exit, he will pack his bags only if a top La Liga club comes calling.

Abde already enjoyed a fantastic season on loan at Osasuna last season and does not rule out playing for another Spanish team as long as his minutes are secure.

Three clubs have expressed interest in recruiting Abde: Osasuna, Real Betis, and Sevilla. These teams are potential landing spots for the 21-year-old, who is looking for consistent game-time and was disappointed after being overlooked against Villarreal.

The operation could be closed in a deal worth €10 million, with the Catalans reserving 50% of the player’s rights.

Barcelona and Xavi have already made it clear that they would like to retain the player due to his profile, but anything can happen in the final stages of the window, and an exit with the potential to return cannot be ruled out.
