He was one of the sensations of the last World Cup, like many of his compatriots. Sofyan Amrabat shone with the Atlas Lions in Qatar, and inevitably, he caught the eye of many stables a little more upscale than the Fiorentina. At the start of the transfer window, Liverpool and Tottenham were on the spot as unveiled exclusively in our columns, then, Atlético also positioned itself. But for various reasons, no operation could be concluded. But the 26-year-old midfielder’s transfer window is not over yet…
Thus, according to our information, the FC Barcelona tries a last minute offensive to recruit him, as unveiled on Monday evening in Spain. An operation that may seem a bit surprising, but Xavi Hernandez does indeed want to enlist a midfielder, he who notably asked his management to bring Dani Parejo back to him earlier this winter. Talks have already been started between the Catalans and the Viola.
It’s complicated… but not impossible!
Inevitably, it is a very difficult file to carry out for the team chaired by Joan Laporta, but the Barcelonans are pushing. The Blaugrana are going to offer a loan with an option to buy for 37 million euros. It remains to be seen whether that will be enough to satisfy the leaders of the Italian club, who would lose one of their managers there without having time to hire a player to replace him.
Negotiations will continue in the coming hours. On the Barcelona side, Sofyan Amrabat would come to bring muscle and volume of play, in a sometimes too fragile midfield, with Sergio Busquets who has more and more in the hard and players like Frenkie de Jong, Pedri or Gavi who have also struggling to hold on defensively for the duration of a game. We can also imagine that it is a question of preparing for the future, when Sergio Busquets (34) is no longer very young. Case to follow!
