Roma Considers Ezzalzouli, But Real Betis' €60m Valuation is a Major Obstacle
Roma has reportedly added Abde Ezzalzouli to their transfer shortlist. The Moroccan international has impressed during his time with Real Betis, but the club's €60 million asking price is proving to be a substantial impediment to any potential deal.
Previous reports indicated that Roma had made inquiries about Ezzalzouli, viewing him as an alternative to other targets such as RB Leipzig's Antonio Nusa. More recent information from Matteo Moretto, a colleague of Fabrizio Romano, also suggests that the 24-year-old winger is on the radar of the Giallorossi.
Ezzalzouli's Price Tag Makes Him Prohibitively Expensive for Roma
However, if the €60 million price tag is indeed confirmed, it would likely take Ezzalzouli out of contention for a move to the Stadio Olimpico. His ability to play on either the left or right wing has already attracted interest from Premier League clubs Aston Villa and Newcastle United this summer, highlighting his versatility and market appeal.
Last season, Ezzalzouli demonstrated his offensive capabilities by scoring 15 goals and providing 13 assists in 43 competitive appearances for Real Betis.
Ezzalzouli was also set to participate in the World Cup with Morocco in the USA, Canada, and Mexico. Unfortunately, a knee injury sustained in a friendly match against Norway forced him to withdraw from the squad at the last minute.
The player had also been linked with moves to Roma and Como during the previous summer transfer window.
