Interest in Ez Abde Ezzalzouli is beginning to intensify across the Premier League, with both Aston Villa and Newcastle United monitoring the Real Betis winger ahead of a potential summer move.
The Moroccan international has emerged as a dynamic attacking option in La Liga, combining pace, direct dribbling, and growing tactical maturity. His performances have not gone unnoticed in England, where clubs are increasingly drawn to wide players capable of breaking defensive lines in one-on-one situations.
However, Betis have made their position unmistakably clear. The Spanish club are unwilling to negotiate below Abde’s €60 million release clause, effectively placing control of the situation in the hands of any suitor willing to meet that valuation outright. There is, for now, no indication that Betis are open to structured deals or discounted negotiations.
Villa’s interest appears to be driven by necessity as much as ambition. Following Morgan Rogers’ move to Chelsea, the Midlands club are actively reshaping their attacking options, with Abde viewed as a player capable of injecting flair and unpredictability into their forward line. Newcastle, meanwhile, continue to scan the market for reinforcements that can elevate their attacking depth as they aim to sustain their competitiveness at both domestic and European levels.
Behind the scenes, Abde is also preparing for the possibility of a move.ing his English, a subtle but telling sign that a Premier League switch is being seriously considered
For now, the situation remains finely balanced. Much will depend on whether either English club is prepared to meet Betis’ firm financial demands. Until then, Abde remains in Seville, developing steadily and waiting as interest around him continues to grow.
