Barcelona wish to rake in €20-25 million if they sell attacking prospect this summer – report

Ez Abde has had quite a successful past ten months or so. The Barcelona youngster was loaned out to CA Osasuna for the entirety of the 2022/23 campaign and he excelled at the club, finishing with six goals and two assists across all competitions. The 21-year-old then shone brightly at the U-23 Africa Cup of Nations, leading Morocco to the trophy.

Given his performances last season, Abde is the only Barcelona player who was out on loan last season that could have a future at the club in the upcoming campaign.

The winger, for his part, is determined to stay and earn a place in Xavi’s plans. As such, he cut short his vacation and returned to pre-season training earlier this week and has flown to the USA, where he hopes to impress the manager.

Barcelona, for their part, are not looking to sell Abde right away, but if there are no other departures, his exit could become a possibility.

As such, in that scenario, Barça hope that Abde’s departure fetches them a fee of around €20-25 million, according to Adrian Sanchez, which the Catalans consider would be a ‘good sale’.

As iterated earlier, both Barcelona and Abde are on board with the idea that the player participates in the pre-season and has a chance to prove himself.

And the club do not see Abde’s sale as a priority at the moment, with the exits of other players given more prominence.

However, if there are not enough departures, the 21-year-old Moroccan could become a candidate to be shipped off, in which case the La Liga champions would hope to pocket around €20-25 million.

For now, though, there is nothing concrete regarding Abde’s future and the matter could take until the end of the transfer window to be resolved.
