Aston Villa have shown themselves as willing to make a bid for Barcelona youngster Abde Ezzalzouli and ‘something is brewing’ around the player this summer.
That’s according to Sport, who say Aston Villa are one of the clubs looking to potentially take advantage of the fact Barcelona need to sell before the end of the window.
The newspaper explain that the Blaugrana club need to release one of their attacker if they want to complete their squad in the last weeks of the transfer window and the Moroccan winger is one who could be moved on.
While Barcelona are satisfied with him and would prefer to see Ansu Fati depart, the latter’s refusal to do so is making it impossible and Abde has offers of the table.
Bayer Leverkusen are the team that is bidding the strongest and could present an offer close to €20m plus bonuses is Barcelona open the door for them to do so.
The German side are not the only interested party, though, and his entourage have been receiving interest and talking with various clubs, albeit on a low-key basis.
Aston Villa are one of the teams who have shown that they are ‘willing to bid’ for the winger but they would be in second place at this moment in time.
That being said, Leverkusen are at the front of the queue and if Abde says he wants to leave, they will make a definitive move, something the Villans need to be wary of if their interest is serious.
