Premier League
Ez Abde, a 24-year-old Moroccan winger from Real Betis, has become one of the targets of the transfer market of Aston Villa. The English club has financial room after agreeing to sell Morgan Rogers to Chelsea for 137 million euros, while Barcelona remains very attentive to the operation as they retain 20% of a future sale of the player.
The interest from the Birmingham club comes after Abde resumed preseason with Real Betis following an injury that kept him from participating in the World Cup with Morocco. His situation once again places him among the key names in the market.
Aston Villa has the liquidity to go for Ez Abde
Aston Villa is looking to strengthen Unai Emery's wings, and Abde appears as one of the favored profiles at Villa Park. The sale of Morgan Rogers to Chelsea for 137 million euros will allow the English club to carry out high-value operations in the upcoming weeks.
At Real Betis, they are aware that Aston Villa's financial capacity may turn interest into a formal proposal. Although no official offer or specific amount for Abde has been disclosed, the economic context of the English club positions them to compete for the Moroccan international.

Abde is under contract with Real Betis and remains an essential piece for Manuel Pellegrini. The injury he suffered before the World Cup prevented his participation with Morocco, but he is already working normally during the preparation for the new season.
Barcelona retains a percentage of a future sale of Ez Abde
The operation also interests Barcelona. When the Catalan club transferred Abde to Real Betis, they reserved a 20% share of a future sale, so any transfer would bring in income to the Camp Nou offices.
This percentage makes Barcelona an indirect participant in the negotiation. If Aston Villa presents a significant offer and Real Betis accepts the sale, the Blaugrana entity would receive a portion of the amount agreed upon by both clubs.
Abde's evolution over the last few seasons has kept his name on the radar of several European teams. His ability to play on both wings and his experience in LaLiga enhance his appeal in the market.
The next step of the operation for Ez Abde
The future of Ez Abde will now depend on whether Aston Villa turns their interest into a formal proposal to Real Betis. The sale of Morgan Rogers to Chelsea provides the English club with enough resources to undertake high-level signings during this summer.
Meanwhile, Abde will continue with Real Betis' preseason, awaiting developments. If an offer satisfying the green-and-white club arrives, Barcelona will also benefit from the 20% they hold in a future sale of the Moroccan winger.
