Roma are set to make another attempt to take over Ez Abde in the summer and the player seems more ready to leave Barcelona. That Giallorossi already tried in January. However, coach Xavi persuaded the youngster to stay there.
Corresponding El National (about Corriere dello Sport), the 20-year-old is rethinking his stance because he doesn’t see consistent playing time. He faces significant competition with the presence of Memphis Depay and Ousmane Dembele in his roles, as well as the additions of Ferran Torres and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang in January. He has played 10 La Liga games so far, a total of 581 minutes.
Roma are ready to shell out €10m to bring Abde on board, the Catalan publication report. He could replace a former one canterano, Carles Perez, who might be on his way out due to his supporting role. He just scored his first goal of the year against Salernitana. The Spaniard has been linked with Valencia and Bayer Leverkusen in recent weeks.
Abde would welcome the opportunity to play under José Mourinho at Roma, the outlet informs. He would be able to appear on either flank. He has experience at right-back which could help him function as an attacking full-back like Nicola Zalewski has been doing lately. That Giallorossi are looking for a replacement in this position as Ainsley Maitland-Niles flopped.
That Blaugrana acquired the 20-year-old from Hercules last summer. He has scored one goal and provided 6 assists in 15 games with Barcelona B so far. He is Moroccan but also has the Spanish passport.
