Al-Ittihad Football Club is gearing up for the summer transfer window with a keen eye on acquiring another Moroccan international player, signaling their ambition to bolster their squad for the upcoming season.
The Saudi-based club, home to Moroccan star Abderrazak Hamdallah, is reportedly pursuing Ez Abde, a 22-year-old Moroccan international with 15 caps to his name.
Abde’s recent departure from Betis Sevilla, following a lackluster stint since his arrival from Barça for €7.5 million, has put him on Al-Ittihad’s radar as a potential target for recruitment.
Despite his promising start, Abde’s performance dip saw him sidelined, with his last appearance dating back to March 17, where he featured for a mere eight minutes during Betis Sevilla’s defeat to Rayo Vallecano.
With uncertainty surrounding his future at Barça, Abde’s market value remains high, attracting interest from clubs both within and outside Europe.
Al-Ittihad, currently placed fifth in the Saudi Arabian championship with five matches remaining, has emerged as the frontrunner in the race to secure Abde’s signature.
The club’s financial prowess positions them favorably against European competitors, including AC Milan and a Ligue 1 side, vying for Abde’s services.
While negotiations are ongoing, Al-Ittihad’s strategic approach to strengthening their squad reflects their ambition to compete at the highest level and challenge for domestic and continental honors.
Abde’s potential arrival would add depth and quality to their roster, enhancing their prospects for success in the upcoming season.
As talks progress, Abde’s transfer saga continues to captivate football enthusiasts, with fans eagerly anticipating developments regarding his next destination.
Should Al-Ittihad succeed in securing Abde’s services, it would mark a significant addition to their squad and a testament to the club’s commitment to achieving their ambitions in both domestic and international competitions.
