One of Barcelona’s initial targets this summer in their search to replace Sergio Busquets was Sofyan Amrabat. The team had been keeping an eye on the midfielder for a while and wanted him to sign on before the upcoming season.
However, the club was forced to reject the signing because of Fiorentina’s high demands. Despite the fact that the midfielder’s contract with the club expires at the end of the upcoming season, the Italian team is asking for €30 million for him.
However, according to reports from Italy that SPORT has relayed, there may be some changes in Amrabat’s future. The news source notes that Mateu Alemany, Barcelona’s sporting director, has kept in touch with the player’s support group.
In recent years, Barcelona has chosen to go with Oriol Romeu. Amrabat is still highly regarded by the club, though, and if his price drops in the closing hours of the transfer window, the club may try to sign the Moroccan international.
Amrabat himself is eager to leave Fiorentina in the interim. He aspires to join teams like Barcelona, Manchester United, and Bayern Munich, among others. The player keeps pushing Fiorentina to sell him before the upcoming season.
Fiorentina’s demand, according to Amrabat’s entourage, might decrease as the summer transfer window goes on. With only one year left on the player’s contract, the Italian club might feel pressured to accept a lower asking price.
If Barcelona is successful in selling Franck Kessie this summer, their pursuit of Amrabat could receive a significant boost. However, the club and potential buyers have not yet come to an agreement regarding the purchase of the Ivorian. The course of events over the next few weeks will therefore be interesting to watch.
