Yours for £52m: Liverpool willing to pay release clause for new forward Big changes are coming to Liverpool’s attack this summer. Last year we saw record-breaking sums spent on improving the centre of the forward line. Hugo Ekitike and Alexander Isak came on board for around £200m between them and another £116m went on a central playmaker - Florian Wirtz.
This summer however and the priority has shifted out with - with Arne Slot requiring one-v-one quality on the flanks. An upgrade to Cody Gakpo may well be sought while Mohamed Salah and potentially Federico Chiesa are leaving. Those alterations will leave Slot short of senior wing options with no shortage of new players linked.
From Bradley Barcola to Yan Diomande it’s been reported that Richard Hughes is casting his eye far and wide for a new attacker. And recent reports in Spain suggest that Real Betis winger Abde Ezzalzouli could be the man to arrive. Liverpool told to pay Ez Abde's release clause in full The 24-year-old joined Betis from Barcelona back in 2023 but has taken a decisive step forward with his football this term.
Under contract until 2029 the Morocco international has hit 12 goals and made 12 assists across all competitions for Manuel Pellegrini’s side. That form has brought him into Liverpool’s orbit with the Premier League champions seeking a player possessed of Ez Abde’s characteristics. According to a report in Fichajes the Merseyside club have now been informed that the winger will only be available if his full release clause is paid.
