Bayer Leverkusen to fight Barca for Abde

Ez Abde has won the right to give Barcelona a shot. After showing his potential at Osasuna, the Moroccan winger has attracted the gaze from the 'Cules' ahead of next season.

Xavi Hernandez is a big fan of his growth, but Barca would be open to cashing in on him. According to 'Sport', the latest side to join the list of hopefuls is Bayer Leverkusen.

Xabi Alonso, the German side's manager thinks he has all the aptitudes to succeed in the German top flight, and there appears to be a gap in his side's starting eleven for him. Moussa Diaby and Amine Adli, two of the club's forwards, could leave and the ex-Real Sociedad man is thought to have asked his board for a reinforcement.

Barca, however, won't take long to answer that. With the side having to tighten things up due to the 'Financial Fair Play', they would have to carry out some manoeuvres to make a move possible and, if he is to be a starter for Xavi, they would be open to getting rid of one of the side's academy talents to get him in.
