Liverpool want agreement for former Barcelona star

Liverpool are reportedly in the market for a former Barcelona star. That's according to local reports.

Diario de Sevilla reports that Liverpool are interested in winger Abde Ezzalzouli. There's actually nothing more offered than that - just that the Reds would like the player.

Ezzalzouli joined Real Betis from Barcelona in 2023 and has enjoyed something of a breakout campaign. The 24-year-old has scored seven and assisted seven from the left flank, becoming one of La Liga's standout wingers.

That's grabbed Liverpool's interest, who need to boost their production from out wide. They never actually replaced Luis Diaz beyond promoting Rio Ngumoha, but the teenager is still pretty unproven.

Mo Salah's impending exit then increases the need for something new out wide, even if Ezzalzouli does play on the opposite flank to the Egyptian. Liverpool, though, can be fully expected to make some sort of move this summer in attack.

And it may well be Ezzalzouli. His signing would have echoes of Salah, given he's roughly the same age that the Liverpool star was when he moved to Anfield and he too didn't quite make it at an 'elite' club.

Perhaps, like Salah, Ezzalzouli could make a jump in the right environment. That would be the hope if the Moroccan is ultimately the player Liverpool move for.
