Osasuna sporting director Braulio Vazquez feels his team have no chance of being able to keep hold of Ez Abde after his season-long loan from Barcelona ends.
Abde has enjoyed regular football at Osasuna this season, helping the team to a Copa del Rey final and a seventh-place finish in La Liga.
Vazquez has been asked if the club could try to keep hold of Abde for another year but thinks there’s no chance.
“Thinking that he can continue another year with us I see as almost impossible, if not impossible,” he said.
“He is a special player, it is true that he has to be in a suitable context and that has also been given to him by our fans and our people
“Obviously I don’t know his future, but with all the scouts that have come lately, if they have seen him play, I suppose that Barcelona or some other team will want him.
