Barcelona rule out summer move for 24-year-old former winger – report
Barcelona season has been marred by injuries, particularly to the wingers, and the effect of the same is seen in the team’s attacking numbers.
While they did manage to win La Liga comfortably regardless, the lack of continuity for Raphinha and even Lamine Yamal affected the team’s attacking numbers and dominance this campaign.
The board, thus, realise the urgent need for depth on the wings. Marcus Rashford provided depth in the department this season, but with the club now uncertain of his future, former Barcelona player Ez Abde was seen as a potential option to return.
As reported by SPORT now, Barcelona have completely ruled out the return of the Real Betis star and do not see him as an option to reinforce the flank. They claim that the rumours linking him to the club are completely baseless.
Barcelona ruled out a move for Ez Abde as they are uncertain about their winger depth and his potential return.

In fact, internal sources also reportedly confirm that Barcelona do not have any buy-back clause on the player and that no means of a return was included in the contract at the time of his sale to Real Betis.
A return to Barcelona, thus, is close to impossible and the player will consider offers from Premier League sides, including Newcastle United and Aston Villa which arrived in recent days.
While Barcelona are not interested in securing Abde’s return home, it does not go to say that they are not planning on reinforcing the wing for next season. Their focus, instead, has shifted to other priority targets.

Jan Virgili, Victor Munoz and Mika Godts, as matters stand, appear to be alternate options for Barcelona’s left-wing position, while Rashford is also a possible candidate to stay.
Everything, however, will depend on the club’s finances. With a larger part of the budget being allocated for a new striker, the wing remains a secondary priority, especially given that Raphinha will continue as the first-choice player.
