Although, according to 'Sport', Ez Abde wanted to settle his future now and make his departure if any club made him an offer he liked, he will have to forget about it. Xavi is counting on him for the pre-season and he will do it, no matter what.
FC Barcelona are planning for the 2023/24 season and there are doubts about a number of players. The club has been considering for some time what to do with Ez Abde, who is returning from his loan spell at Osasuna.
Although Barca initially looked favourably on his departure, things seem to have changed. Xavi would now have a place for him in the team, at least for the summer.
Ez Abde preferred to decide his future now. He was in favour of leaving (either on loan or on transfer), according to 'Sport', in case a club knocked on his door and came with an interesting offer. But he will have to forget about it.
The Barcelona coach believes the winger can bring something different to the team, which is why he wants to see him in action over the summer months before making a decision. Xavi has been keeping a close eye on him all season and believes he could be of help in attack next season.
