Atlético Madrid Eyes Barcelona's Moroccan Star Ezzalzouli Amid Transfer Speculation

Several Liga clubs like Atlético Madrid are showing interest in Abdessamad Ezzazouli, the Moroccan gem of FC Barcelona, currently on loan to Osasuna. The club is studying the possibility of parting ways with the Moroccan striker in the next summer transfer window, if he does not find a place in the squad after his return from the Navarrese club.

Barça has already decided the fate of Eze Abde, after his return from Osasuna. If the Moroccan player does not remain in the first team, he will be put on the transfer market. Ezzalzouli is having an excellent season with Osasuna and his progress suggests his return to the first team at the Camp Nou. But this will only be possible if there are departures to free up space in the Barça A team, reports Sport.es.

Several English clubs have already expressed their willingness to negotiate the transfer of the Moroccan striker with Barça, but the club is waiting for a better offer. In Spain, it is Atlético Madrid who want to secure Ezzalzouli’s services. Simeone and the technical staff see in him the ideal talent to strengthen the team.

Barça has already agreed with Atlético Madrid on a purchase option for Yannick Carrasco for 15 million euros, but Atlético could try to change their mind and prefer Ezzalzouli. But Barça will not accept to give up its Moroccan gem for only 15 million and should demand much more. For his part, the young player is for the moment focused on the matches at Osasuna, but he would like to return to Barça and have playing time.
