The coaching staff wants a left winger and they must decide between Abde and Carrasco
The Belgian convinces and wants to sign and could be chosen if a good offer for Abde arrives that helps in the economic field
One of the reinforcements requested by Xavi Hernández to the sports management directed by Mateu Alemany for the next course is that of a pure left wingera classic band man.
In this sense, Barça has two alternatives. One of them, owned. This is Ez Abde. The youth academy player has made the most of his loan to Osasuna. In an ideal context for him, he has grown tremendously under the command of Jagoba Arrasate, adding 32 games, six goals and two assists, being important in the classification of the Navarrese team for the Cup final and for Osasuna to continue fighting for the place which entitles them to play in the Conference League next season.
Barça, however, has another option. It is the Belgian Yannick Carrasco. The Barça club, when it transferred Memphis Depay to Atlético de Madrid in the winter market, took over a purchase option on the winger for a figure that is over fifteen million euros. The Belgian has had a great season and has convinced Xavi, who saw how Carrasco had a great game at the Spotify Camp Nou.

The dilemma
The technicians and the sports management will have to opt for one of the options in the coming weeks. From the outset, Abde will return to Barça, but tempting offers can come through him to help with the feasibility plan presented to LaLiga. In recent days, Xabi Alonso’s Bayer Leverkusen has been interested in him, but the Moroccan international, with a contract until June 30, 2026, also has offers from England.
If the offer is good, the sports management could decide to transfer Abde and then undertake the hiring of Carrasco, a player that the coaches like a lot. This yes, the Barça would try to reduce the amount of the purchase option that it has on the Belgian, because his contract ends in 2024 and he did not want to renew thinking about making the leap to FC Barcelona.
