Everything counts in football. Playing well for your club will earn you a call-up to represent your country, and starring for your country in the World Cup will make your club want to sell you. Wait, what?! Well, if Barcelona is said club, it all makes more sense.The Catalan club, pressured by financial woes, is looking to offload players who aren’t currently in the first-team picture so that they could avoid restrictions from the Spanish Football Association. Morocco’s fine showing in Qatar led to many of their players’ market value soar – just like the interest in them. Barca’s winger Ez Abde is one of those players. ##NAJAVA_MECA_6900005##The 21-year-old winger burst onto the scene last season, scoring once in 12 appearances but causing plenty of danger with his dribbling. He was supposed to stay in the first team this season, but following a chaotic end to the last transfer window and Memphis Depay’s failed sale meant that there was no room for the Moroccan after all – so he was loaned out to Osasuna.Abde had some notable performances coming off the bench for Walid Regragui’s team. And considering that he isn’t likely to break into the first team at Camp Nou — and the youngster reluctant to spend another year playing elsewhere as a loaned player, the time is right for Barcelona to cash in on the young African and make a considerable profit. 🎙️ Adrian Sanchez (journalist): “There is interest from many teams in Ez Abde. FC Barcelona does not rule out any scenario with the young Moroccon player.” 🇲🇦 pic.twitter.com/Cw9fBTx7pK— Barça Capricorn ♑ (@capricorn_barca) December 15, 2022 Abdessamad ‘Ez Abde’ Ezzalzouli arrived to Barcelona in August 2021 from Hercules in a transfer worth $2 million. Now, the Catalans believe they could sell the right-footed left winger for a fee ten times as high.According to the Spanish newspaper Sport, which traditionally has inside information from FC Barcelona, there are a couple of German clubs asking questions about Abde’s availability.In the meantime, the winger should continue to develop with Osasuna, where he’s considered a starter. It will be good for his career, but also for Barcelona’s prospects of finally making some profit in the transfer market.
