Nottingham Forest are reportedly keen on promising Barcelona winger Abde Ezzalzouli and could launch a bid in the summer.
The 21-year-old is currently in the midst of a loan spell with La Liga side CA Osasuna, where he has chipped in with three goals and two assists this season. The Moroccan joined Barca from Hercules in 2021 and made 12 appearances for the Nou Camp giants last season, with his only goal actually coming against Osasuna.
Given their ongoing financial struggles, Barcelona could opt to cash in this summer and there is no shortage of interest in the youngster, according to reports in Spain.

La Razón has named Forest and Wolves as the two Premier League clubs interested in Ezzalzouli and apparently "willing to bid" for the player this summer. That interest would presumably hinge on the success or failure of both club’s Premier League relegation battle. A number of Spanish clubs have also been credited with an interest in the player, including Real Betis and Atletico Madrid.
Ezzalzouli, who has five caps for his country, was in the Morocco squad for the 2022 World Cup as the African nation reached the semi-finals in Qatar.
