AS Roma have renewed their interest in Moroccan winger Abde Ezzalzouli, currently at Real Betis. According to Italian reports, coach Gian Piero Gasperini is in the market for a wide man, with Ezzalzouli high on his shortlist.
For Barcelona, it’s a development worth watching. When they sold Ezzalzouli to Betis in the summer of 2023 for €7.5 million, they retained 50% of any future sale. That stake dropped to 20% last winter after Barça agreed to send Vitor Roque on loan to Palmeiras in exchange for a further 30% of Ezzalzouli’s rights.
Ezzalzouli’s market value is estimated at €12 million, but reports in Italy suggest Roma could bid closer to €20 million. Such a deal would net Barcelona about €4 million – welcome cash as the club awaits financial clearance to register all its players for the new season.
Barça are also waiting on LaLiga to sign off on a €100 million VIP seat deal at Spotify Camp Nou, which would restore the club to the 1:1 financial fair play ratio and allow full squad registration.
Should Roma act before the transfer window closes, Barcelona could enjoy a timely, if modest, cash boost.
