Two Champions League signings to replace Abde

The departure of Ez Abde from Real Betis is starting to take shape. The Moroccan winger, one of the key players in Manuel Pellegrini's team, is poised to move to the Premier League after Newcastle has set in motion a plan to replace Anthony Gordon, who has already been transferred to FC Barcelona.

The English club is preparing an offer that could reach 60 million euros, a figure nearly impossible for Betis to refuse. In Heliópolis, they are already working on possible replacements, and the names of Jan Virgili and Víctor Muñoz are being considered as two promising choices for Champions League level competition.

Newcastle Speeds Up for Ez Abde

Anthony Gordon's transfer to Barça has left Newcastle with fresh funds and an urgent need on the left wing. The English winger was one of their main offensive references, and his departure necessitates finding a replacement capable of offering dribbling, speed, and immediate production.

Ez Abde fits perfectly into that profile. The Moroccan has had an outstanding season at Real Betis, showing growth in consistency, decision-making, and influence within the team. He is no longer just an electric player to change games from the bench but a much more mature attacker ready to take on responsibilities.

The Premier League has been monitoring his progress for months. His ability to take on defenders, attack spaces, and create mismatches in one-on-one situations makes him a very attractive player for the English championship. Newcastle believes he can adapt well to the physical pace of the league and become an important asset from day one.

The 60 million offer changes the scenario completely. Betis did not want to sell one of their stars before returning to the Champions League, but such a figure would force them to seriously consider the operation.

Betis Looks to Jan Virgili

In case of a departure, Betis will need to react quickly. The sports management cannot afford to lose Abde without having a reliable replacement lined up, especially in a season where the team will have to compete at the highest level in Europe.

One of the favored names is Jan Virgili. The former Barça academy player has shone at Mallorca, and his departure seems highly likely following the Balearic team's relegation. His contractual situation has become much more appealing to La Liga clubs, and Betis sees this as a market opportunity.

Virgili is a young, direct winger with the ability to play wide. He is still in a phase of development, but his boldness and knack for taking on rival defenses align with what Pellegrini is seeking to revamp the attack.

The competition will be a challenge. Mallorca's relegation has put his name on the market, and several clubs are monitoring his situation. Betis can offer Champions League football, an appealing project, and playing time in a squad that will require constant rotation.

This could heavily influence the player's decision. Heliópolis would be an ideal destination to continue growing without having to immediately feel the pressure from a European giant.

Víctor Muñoz, the Other Key Target

The second name on the table is Víctor Muñoz. The winger from Osasuna, who came through the Real Madrid academy, has had a very promising season and has received several offers to change teams this summer.

However, his future is not straightforward. Real Madrid holds a preferential position, and it seems likely they may try to bring him back to their squad or have better control over his development. This possibility complicates Betis' plans, although they are not giving up at Heliópolis.

Víctor Muñoz possesses dribbling skills, speed, and goal-scoring ability. His profile differs from that of Virgili, being more physically developed and with experience in La Liga. For Pellegrini, he would be a very useful addition, especially for his ability to perform on both wings and provide depth in high-tempo matches.

Betis knows that replacing Abde will not be easy. The Moroccan has been a key piece, and his departure would leave a significant void. However, they also understand that a 60 million sale would allow for funding multiple signings and raising the overall squad level.

The domino effect is already in motion. Gordon is off to Barça, Newcastle is eyeing Abde, and Betis is gearing up to respond. Jan Virgili and Víctor Muñoz are the chosen names to try to ensure Heliópolis does not lose offensive power ahead of a historic Champions League season.
