Liverpool is one of England’s most iconic football clubs, competing in the Premier League and European competitions like the UEFA Champions League. Known for its attacking style, legendary players, and passionate fanbase, Liverpool has a rich history of domestic league… Read More about LIVERPOOL
Liverpool are tracking Real Betis winger Abde Ezzalzouli after his standout season in Spain. The club may move in the summer as they search for a fresh attacking spark.
Liverpool eye explosive attacking option
As per the reports, Liverpool have added Abde Ezzalzouli to their list for the next window. The club wants a fast winger who can pull defenses apart and add threat near goal. This fits into the plan under Arne Slot, where speed and quick moves matter. Liverpool scouts have tracked his progress closely across many games this season.
Abde Ezzalzouli’s ascent this season has turned heads. As per FBref, he has 12 goals and 12 assists in 38 matches. These are good numbers but also consistency is there. He is naturally suited to a high tempo attacking setup that relies on players beating the defenders in one on one situations.
There is also a clear shift in his decision making. Earlier in his career, he created chances but lacked a final touch. Now, his actions lead to goals more often. That improvement has pushed him into Liverpool’s thinking as they plan ahead. This growth suggests he is entering a more complete phase of his development curve.

Abde Ezzalzouli Stats show growing impact at Real Betis
His numbers back the interest. In La Liga, Abde Ezzalzouli has seven goals and seven assists from 24 appearances. That shows the manager, on average of 76 min per game trusts him. That means he is a key player and gets regular action for the team.
As per FotMob, his expected goals stands at 7.24. Indicating his finishing is more stable than lucky. However, he has managed 7 assists despite an expected assists of 2.93. It shows that he is creating tremendous value even if the moments are not all being lost to raw models.
He has created 10 big chances but missed eight himself. That points to an aggressive style. He is always involved in key moments, even if not all end perfectly. For a top Premier League side, that risk taking mindset often proves useful over a long season. If refined further, this trait could elevate him into a decisive match winner in modern football.

Pellegrini highlights growth and transfer context
Real Betis manager Manuel Pellegrini has praised the winger’s development. He said, “He has a huge potential. He’s matured a great deal. He listens to advice and that is why his goal tally has increased.” That growth did not happen by chance. Pellegrini noted that the player now turns more of his actions into goals. This reflects better positioning and calmer choices in the final third.
Off the pitch, the situation is also interesting. Real Betis own 80% of his rights, while Barcelona still hold 20%. The club may need to raise funds and Abde Ezzalzouli is one of the key assets who could bring in a strong fee. Some reports have previously suggested a price near £40 million could be enough to start serious talks. With a contract until 2029, Real Betis hold a strong position, but financial balance could push them to consider offers.

The Reds’ interest adds another key layer. If they decide to act, the move could depend on how much they value his current level versus his future ceiling. Right now, he looks like a player on the rise and that is often when top clubs choose to step in.
