Abde Ezzalzouli’s standout 2023-24 season—14 goals and 13 assists across all competitions—has vaulted the Real Betis forward into the summer transfer spotlight. His explosive performances have drawn the attention of several top European clubs, with Newcastle United emerging as a frontrunner in the race for his signature.

With Anthony Gordon’s imminent departure to FC Barcelona creating a void in the attack, Newcastle is prepared to meet the Moroccan international’s €60 million release clause without delay. Chelsea, Paris Saint-Germain, and Manchester United are also monitoring the situation closely, but the Magpies are leaving nothing to chance to close the deal swiftly.
