According to Goal.com, Newcastle United are considering a summer transfer to activate the £51 million release clause of Real Betis winger Abde Ezzalzouli. Ezzalzouli is a primary target for Newcastle United following Anthony Gordon's departure to Barcelona.

Newcastle United have held talks to sign Real Betis winger Abde Ezzalzouli, which have included discussions about the conditions of a transfer. According to sources, Newcastle has been conducting extensive work on Ezzalzouli for several months, and their interest began before Anthony Gordon’s imminent departure to Barcelona. Ezzalzouli's representatives are open to a move to St James’ Park. The winger is attracted by Newcastle’s long-term project and the chance to play in the Premier League. Real Betis expect to lose the winger this summer. Ezzalzouli has a €60 million release clause in his contract. However, sources indicate that Betis would be willing to negotiate a deal for a figure slightly below that amount if they receive serious offers. Betis owes Barcelona 20% of any profits from the €7.5m deal that brought the player to the club in September 2023. It is believed that Newcastle are in a strong position because of their long-standing interest and a clear path to a prominent attacking role after Gordon’s exit.

Newcastle United are closely monitoring Abde Ezzalzouli's situation. According to Ficherio, the club would be ready to pay his release clause of 60 million euros. The Moroccan international is seen as an ideal replacement for Anthony Gordon, who is reportedly set to leave for FC Barcelona. It is not known if Abde Ezzalzouli is interested in a move to Newcastle, as he has many options for his future.

According to TEAMtalk, Abde Ezzalzouli is one of four names on Newcastle's shortlist for a potential signing.
