Liverpool are plotting changes to their attack.
Arne Slot has been explicit in his requests for one-v-one quality out wide – and this summer provides the head coach the ideal platform to carry out those alterations.
Mohamed Salah and his £400k per week salary will be leaving the club – and Federico Chiesa will also be expected to leave.
On the left side of the attack meanwhile Cody Gakpo may well be upgraded – and Rio Ngumoha is the Dutchman’s only competition on that side.
Accordingly the Premier League champions have been linked with dribbling specialists – such as Yan Diomande andBradley Barcola – who can play either side of the attack.
Liverpool looking at Ez Abde
And a surprise new name has been added to the mix in the shape of Abde Ezzalzouli of Real Betis. The Moroccan winger has been enjoying a fine individual season at club level following his 2023 move from Barcelona.
This season Ez Abde has scored 12 goals and added 12 assists in all competitions.
And now a report in Fichajes claims that Liverpool are willing to pay between £35m and £39m to seal the signing of the African champion.
Ez Abde: Situation summary
Ez Abde is a 24‑year‑old Moroccan winger whose Betis spell has swung from frustrating start to something closer to a late‑bloomer success story.
Initially used sparingly and even earmarked for sale amid Saudi and Italian interest, he has since worked his way into a more regular role when fit, with double‑digit goals in 2025‑26 suggesting a genuine end‑product uptick.
On the pitch he is an out‑and‑out touchline winger: left‑sided, right‑footed, extremely direct in one‑v‑one situations and at his best when isolating full‑backs and driving into the box.
Consistency and decision‑making remain live questions, but his ball‑carrying threat, ability to change tempo and improved output make him one of Betis’ few true game‑breakers in transition.
Contractually, Abde joined from Barcelona in 2023 and extended his deal in October 2024 to 2029, with Betis holding the majority of his economic rights and a reported €60m release clause.
