Juventus have made an approach forBarcelonawinger Ez Abde ahead of a potential summer transfer, according toTuttomercatoweb.
The Moroccan youngster was the show stealer at the recent U23 AFCON, guiding his side to the title while enjoying a stellar tournament with three goals and assists apiece.
It was preceded by an impressive loan spell at Osasuna last season. He was pivotal for the Spanish side to reach the finals of Copa del Rey before losing to Real Madrid.
Despite his upturn in form, the 21-year-old faces an uncertain future at Camp Nou, regularly linked with an exit this summer as part of Barca’s summer clearout to achieve FFP.
Xavi is said to be happy to keep Abde under his supervision heading into the next season due to the lack of quality wingers in the squad as well as the financial limitations to invest in quality forwards.
Meanwhile,Barcamight not rule out the sale of Abde if a suitable offer arrives.
Juve have registered their interest in the Moroccan forward, and they would have to cough up €15 million to prise him away from the Catalan club.
The Bianconeri’s economic woes are also well-documented, however, they have a great chance to generate significant funds with the potential sale of Dusan Vlahovic.
The Serbian striker is seen as the most bankable asset in the transfer market, withJuve placing a price tag in the region of €70 million amid interest from European heavyweights.
Attacking reinforcements are a priority for the Old Lady in order to return to their best next season, provided the departure of Angel Di Maria and the uncertain futures of Federico Chiesa and Moise Kean.
The Old Lady recentlywelcomed Timothy Weah as their first summer signing from Lillewhile also making Arkadiusz Milik’s loan Ԁєɑł permanent from Marseille.
Elsewhere, Abde will join Barca’s training camp soon after his extєɴԀed vacation due to his participation in the U-23 AFCON.
