The Champions League

Barcelona star Ez Abde linked with Wolves and Atletico Madrid

Barcelona star Ez Abde has become one of the revelations in La Liga this season following his impressive loan spell with Osasuna.

Despite being part of Xavi’s side during the second half of the last season, the Moroccan winger left Camp Nou in the summer following the arrivals of Raphinha and Robert Lewandowski.

Having scored five goals and two assists in all competitions, Abde has been pivotal behind Osasuna’s impressive domestic campaign this season, reaching the finals of Copa del Rey and pushing for the European places in La Liga.

Abde’s emergence has caught the attention of Premier League giants Wolverhampton Wanderers, as reported by Sport.

Wolves have initiated contact with his agent Jorge Mendes, who has a major influence with the West Midlands club.

La Liga giants Atletico Madrid are also keeping an eye on the 21-year-old as a potential replacement for Yannick Carrasco, who is keen on leaving Wanda Metropoltiano this summer.

However, Abde reportedly dreams of returning to Camp Nou this summer in the hopes of a prominent role with the first team.

Meanwhile, the Blaugrana have also been impressed by Abde’s progress and are willing to take him under their wings next season, as there are uncertainties over their summer transfer plans.

Xavi wants to bolster the left-wing position, which has been one of the letdowns this season following the injury to Ousmane Dembele and also the struggles of Ansu Fati and Ferran Torres.

The Blaugrana manager may have to resort to Abde if the club aren’t allowed to make any signings this summer, with La Liga president Javier Tebas previously warning Barca to balance the books.

Barca have also identified players like Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, Carrasco and Vitor Roque as potential targets, but everything depends on whether or not the financial crisis will be eased before the summer.
