Laporta Calls Manuel Pellegrini: He Wants the New Nico Williams, Who Plays for Betis

The president of Barça wants the return of a player who is shining at Betis and could be key for the future

FC Barcelona, always alert to promising players, has once again focused on a player it already knows well. The player was with the blaugrana team, but didn't get to shine. Now at Betis, the winger has become key for Pellegrini's team.

Ez Abde: Success at Betis

Since his arrival at the Andalusian club, Ez Abde has done nothing but shine. With a five-year contract signed last summer, the talented player has stood out at Betis, shining in European competitions.

In the UEFA Conference League, Abde has scored four goals in four games, proving his ability to be decisive in important moments. Pellegrini trusts the player and he is a key player for the team.

The Buyback Option Remains a Possibility

Barcelona, which was cautious in its negotiations, included a buyback clause in Abde's contract. This stipulates that the Catalonian club can recover the player for around 20 million euros next summer.

It's a tempting option, especially considering the level the Moroccan is showing. However, there are doubts about whether the team really needs to reinforce its attack.

Competition in the Blaugrana Attack

Barcelona currently has some top-class wingers, such as Raphinha, who is in excellent shape. This calls into question the need to bring back Abde, as the winger position is well-covered.

Despite this, Laporta could consider Abde's return as an investment for the future or an opportunity to prevent other clubs from taking this promising player.

Pellegrini: Key to Abde's Growth

Betis manager Manuel Pellegrini has been essential in developing Abde's abilities. His confidence and freedom to play his game have allowed the winger to show his full potential. Aware of this, Laporta has contacted Pellegrini to assess the player's development and explore the possibilities of a future return.

Ez Abde represents an interesting case for Barcelona: a home-grown talent succeeding outside the club and who, thanks to a buyback clause, could return. However, with a squad well-stocked in his position, the decision won't be easy. For now, the young Moroccan continues to shine at Betis, proving that his career is on the rise.
