Barcelona’s incoming transfer business will be decided by Ousmane Dembele’s next move.
La Blaugrana are set for a busy start to August with French star Dembele linked with a move to Paris Saint-Germain after reportedly rejecting a contract extension in Catalonia.
Dembele’s future is set to dominate the coming days with Ez Abde potentially staying in Barcelona, if he moves on.
Abde has been linked with a loan exit from Barcelona with multiple reports linking him to a season long loan switch to Real Betis.
However, as per Spanish football expert Gerard Romero, Dembele’s potential switch to Paris will mean Abde stays, as a squad option for Xavi.
The Moroccan international has only just returned from a loan stint at Osasuna, and he remains on the edge of Xavi’s plans, but the 21-year-old can cover Dembele’s position.
As a versatile winger, Abde has the potential to outstrip Dembele’s Barcelona career, and this could be his key chance at the club.
