Barcelona's season has been a rollercoaster, with injuries hitting the squad hard—especially among the wingers. The attacking numbers tell the story: despite cruising to a comfortable La Liga title, the lack of consistency for stars like Raphinha and young sensation Lamine Yamal took a toll on the team's overall dominance.
The board knows they need more depth out wide. Marcus Rashford provided a temporary boost this season, but his future is uncertain, sparking rumors of a possible return for former Barcelona winger Ez Abde. However, those rumors have been shut down fast.
According to recent reports, Barcelona have completely ruled out bringing back the Real Betis standout. The club insists there's no truth to the speculation, with internal sources confirming that no buy-back clause was included in Abde's contract when he was sold. A return to Camp Nou, it seems, is off the table.
So where does Abde go from here? Premier League interest is heating up, with Newcastle United and Aston Villa reportedly circling in recent days. For Barcelona, though, the focus has shifted elsewhere.
The Catalan giants are eyeing fresh options for the left wing, with Jan Virgili, Victor Munoz, and Mika Godts emerging as potential targets. Rashford also remains a candidate to stay on. But as always, everything hinges on the club's finances. With a new striker taking priority in the budget, the wing position is a secondary concern—especially with Raphinha locked in as the first-choice starter.
