Ez Abde Demands Starting Role for Barcelona Return Amid European Interest

Moroccan international Abde Ezzalzouli continues to deliver strong performances with Spanish club Real Betis, reigniting discussions about his future and a potential return to his former club, Barcelona, during the upcoming summer transfer window.

According to Catalan newspaper "Sport," Ezzalzouli is not opposed to the idea of returning to Barcelona, but he has set a crucial condition before making any move: a guarantee of regular participation in the starting lineup, rather than being limited to a secondary role within the team.

The player, who previously represented Barcelona's first team, does not wish to repeat the experience of sitting on the bench. He prefers to continue in an environment that guarantees him consistent playing time, which helps him develop and maintain his performance level.

Meanwhile, Barcelona continues to closely monitor the player's situation, considering him an academy graduate. However, any potential move for his return remains contingent on the team's needs and technical options in the upcoming phase.

Furthermore, several Spanish and European clubs are tracking Ezzalzouli's development, benefiting from his positive output and ability to make a difference, which could open up multiple options for him in the future.

For their part, Real Betis has decided to sell the Moroccan player only if a strong financial offer arrives. His release clause is approximately 60 million euros, while reports indicate that the club will not accept offers below 40 million euros.
