Saudi Arabian club Al Ittihad is reportedly keen on signing Moroccan international Abdessamad Ezzalzouli from Real Betis during the upcoming summer transfer window.
According to the Spanish outlet Fichajes, the Jeddah-based side is preparing a lucrative offer to entice the 22-year-old winger to make the move to the Saudi Pro League.
The club hopes to convince Ezzalzouli by presenting him with a compelling financial package alongside an ambitious sporting project.
Al Ittihad’s management is said to be confident that Real Betis will find their offer difficult to turn down, given the Spanish club’s ongoing financial struggles.
A potential sale of Ezzalzouli could provide much-needed funds to stabilize Betis’ finances, making the deal an attractive proposition.
Ezzalzouli, who joined Real Betis from Barcelona last summer, has been an influential figure in the squad, showcasing his flair and attacking prowess.
His performances have caught the attention of several clubs, but Al Ittihad appears determined to secure his services as part of their strategy to strengthen their squad.
If the move materializes, Ezzalzouli could join a growing list of high-profile players who have made the switch to Saudi Arabia in recent transfer windows.
However, with Betis still valuing the young winger as an important asset, negotiations are expected to be crucial in determining his future.
