AS Roma have added Real Betis winger Abde Ezzalzouli to their list of potential transfer targets. The 24-year-old has caught the attention of the Giallorossi, with reports from both Il Tempo's Filippo Biafora and journalist Matteo Moretto confirming the club's interest in the Moroccan international. The player is being considered as a versatile alternative to RB Leipzig’s Antonio Nusa, as he is capable of performing on both the left and right flanks.
Despite this interest, a move to the Stadio Olimpico appears unlikely due to the significant financial demands of his current club. Real Betis has reportedly set a €60m asking price for the winger, a figure that is considered prohibitive for Roma. The high valuation makes a potential deal difficult, effectively putting him out of the running for a move to the Italian capital if the price remains unchanged.
Ezzalzouli’s impressive performance last season, during which he scored 15 goals and provided 13 assists across 43 competitive appearances, has drawn interest from several other clubs, including Premier League sides Aston Villa and Newcastle United. His career trajectory has also seen him linked to both Roma and Como during the previous summer transfer window.
The player’s recent professional journey included an unfortunate setback regarding his international duty. Ezzalzouli was expected to represent Morocco at the World Cup in the USA, Canada, and Mexico, but he was forced to withdraw from the squad at the last minute after sustaining a knee injury during a friendly match against Norway.
