Barcelona Considers Abdessamad Ezzalzouli for Upcoming Season
According to a report from the Spanish sports newspaper "Marca" on March 10, 2026, FC Barcelona is evaluating the possibility of signing Moroccan international Abdessamad Ezzalzouli as a means to strengthen their attacking lineup for the upcoming season. While the Catalan club's primary focus remains on activating the purchase option for Manchester United's striker Marcus Rashford, valued at approximately €30 million, Barcelona's management is closely monitoring the situation of the "Atlas Lion" as a strategic alternative.
The report indicates that pursuing Ezzalzouli could also provide a financial advantage for Barcelona, as they retain 20% of the player's rights, who is currently playing for Real Betis. This could potentially make his transfer less costly compared to that of Rashford. Ezzalzouli has been impressive this season, showcasing his skills in 18 matches where he scored five goals and contributed five assists, alongside demonstrating exceptional technical ability with 23 successful dribbles.
Furthermore, the versatility and familiarity of Ezzalzouli with Barcelona's environment, having progressed through the club's renowned La Masia academy, make him one of the most attractive options being considered by the technical management of Barcelona as they prepare for the upcoming summer transfer window.
