Bayer Leverkusen approach Barcelona for Ez Abde

Barcelona are looking to make one more sale before the end of the transfer window to finish their plans for the squad this season, and they want to sell a forward in order to possibly bring in another midfielder to join Xavi Hernández’s squad. And one of the forwards has serious interest from a team in Germany.

That’s according to Diario SPORT, who report that Bundesliga side Bayer Leverkusen have made a formal approach to Barcelona for 21-year-old winger Ez Abde, with Xabi Alonso a big fan of the player’s profile. Leverkusen would be willing to pay €20 million euros for a permanent transfer, and Barça are believed to be studying the offer.
