Betis clings to Zalzoulli and Barcelona waits

Spanish club Barcelona will face difficulty in bringing back Moroccan international Abdel Samad Zalzouli, in light of the distinguished performances he has shown with Real Betis this season.

A report by the Vichajes website stated that the Catalan club’s management is closely following the development of “Ibn Al-Dar”, who previously carried the team’s shirt, noting that Al-Zalzouli now possesses technical and physical qualifications that make him a suitable option to strengthen the offensive line, especially in the wing position.

The same source also explained that the Moroccan player is witnessing a qualitative leap in his performance, as he has become one of the most prominent keys to playing for Real Betis, thanks to his decisive contributions, whether at the scoring or technical level, in addition to his great ability to dribble, create spaces, and confuse the opponents’ defences.

The data indicate that Zalzouli’s return to the “Castle of Catalan” will not be easy, in light of Real Betis’ commitment to his services, and his market value rising significantly, in addition to the interest of a number of major European clubs that are closely monitoring his situation, which heralds strong competition during the upcoming summer transfer period.

Zalzouli's importance is also evident in his direct impact on his team's performance, as it became clear that Real Betis' performance declined during the periods in which he was absent, which confirms his position as an essential element in the team's offensive system.

It is worth noting that Abdel Samad Al-Zalzouli, who is 24 years old, had his best professional season so far, which made him return to the circle of interests of major European clubs, most notably Barcelona, which may seriously consider bringing him back during the next Mercato.
