Betis’ €60m demand forces Roma to weigh Ezzalzouli’s risk

Real Betis have fixed a €60 million price on Moroccan winger Abde Ezzalzouli, while AS Roma scour for a left‑sided attacking winger to suit Gian Piero Gasperini’s system, forcing the Italian club to balance the high fee against the player’s recent form and injury record.

Betis’ demands remain firm, with club official Filippo Biafora confirming the fee hovers around €60 million. The high asking price reflects Real’s desire to capitalise on a player they believe can command a substantial fee on the market.

AS Roma are hunting a left‑sided attacking winger to fit Gian Piero Gasperini’s system, and the club’s objective is to secure a functional, long‑term solution rather than a short‑term fix that might need replacement in January. The left‑flank position is viewed as essential for the Giallorossi’s upcoming campaign.

Gian Piero Gasperini, the Grugliasco‑born tactician, wants a player ready and willing to work hard within his attacking setup. He believes Ezzalzouli’s class and consistency could complement his preferred style of play.

The Spanish La Liga star enjoyed his best season in Spain, netting ten goals and delivering fifteen assists, figures that attracted the attention of the coach. His productivity and versatility are seen as assets for the Giallorossi.

Fabrizio Romano reports the Giallorossi are already in talks with Real Betis over the winger, underscoring Roma’s determination to close the gap on their left flank.

However, the Moroccan’s injury history raises concerns; he missed the World Cup match against Morocco due to a torn medial collateral ligament and was sidelined for twenty games in the 2024/25 season.

Roma will evaluate the proposal carefully, proceeding only if the €60 million outlay proves sustainable, while Betis remains steadfast on the price.
