Moroccan Sensation Ez Abde Issues Ultimatum to Barcelona Amid Ousmane Dembele Exit Talks

Barcelona’s winger, Ez Abde, is facing uncertainty about his future as Ousmane Dembele’s potential move to Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) complicates the situation further. Before PSG’s interest in Dembele emerged, Abde was on the verge of joining Real Betis on loan. However, Barcelona has now put that transfer on hold as they monitor the developments regarding Dembele’s departure.

With Dembele’s potential exit, Barcelona finds themselves at a crossroads, having to decide whether to trust their existing wide-forward options, including Raphinha, Ferran Torres, Ansu Fati, and Abde, or to actively seek a replacement. However, the financial constraints prevent the club from pursuing a high-cost signing to fill the void left by Dembele.

For Ez Abde, the situation is relatively straightforward. He is eager for Barcelona to show faith in him by providing him with the playing minutes he needs to develop and contribute to the team. On the other hand, if such assurance is not forthcoming, Abde is willing to explore other opportunities where he can find more consistent playing time. The report also hints that Abde felt neglected last summer, which may influence his decision-making process this time around.

The crux of Abde’s decision hinges on whether Barcelona brings in a replacement for Dembele. Should the club secure a new wide-forward signing, it is likely that Abde will opt for a departure. As a result, the pressure is on Xavi Hernandez, Deco, and Mateu Alemany to identify a suitable alternative within the club’s limited resources.

The uncertainty surrounding both Abde and Dembele adds a layer of complexity to Barcelona’s preparations for the upcoming season. The management will have to carefully navigate their options and find the right balance between retaining promising talents like Abde and addressing any potential gaps in the squad caused by departures. As the transfer window progresses, Barcelona’s decisions in this regard will shape their squad for the upcoming season and play a significant role in defining their performance in domestic and international competitions.
