Liverpool FC are reportedly prepared to trigger the €60 million (£51.9m) release clause of Abde Ezzalzouli, as the club begins planning for a potential post-Mohamed Salah attacking rebuild.
The Moroccan winger, currently playing for Real Betis, has emerged as one of Liverpool’s primary targets ahead of the next transfer window, with the Premier League side viewing him as a key option to refresh their forward line.
The interest comes as the club prepares for the exit of Mohamed Salah, whose influence at Anfield has defined an era of success. Liverpool’s recruitment team is understood to be prioritising wide attacking reinforcements capable of maintaining both output and dynamism in the final third.
Betis, however, have maintained a firm stance on their prized winger. The Spanish club have made it clear that Ezzalzouli will only depart if his full release clause is met, having already rejected a €40 million approach earlier in the process.
Liverpool’s willingness to match the clause signals the seriousness of their intent, with the club identifying the 24 year old as a profile suited to their evolving attacking structure. His directness, pace, and ability to operate in one on one situations have made him one of La Liga’s most closely watched wide forwards.
While no agreement has been finalised, the situation sets up a potential high stakes negotiation, with Betis holding firm on valuation and Liverpool weighing up a decisive move as they shape the next phase of their squad.
For now, Ezzalzouli remains central to Betis’ plans, but interest from Anfield suggests the coming months could be pivotal in determining whether one of La Liga’s standout attacking talents makes the move to the Premier League.
