FC Barcelona already know that Sergio Busquets will not continue and the club now have the most difficult task: to find a replacement for him. On the shortlist of candidates to replace him are City's Ilkay Gundogan, Fiorentina's Sofyan Amrabat and Wolves' Ruben Neves. According to 'Sport', the Moroccan is the favourite.
Sergio Busquets will leave Barca at the end of the season. He has decided that his career at Camp Nou has come to an end and it remains to be seen which team he will choose to continue his professional career.
The club, who had hoped to keep him for at least one more season, will have to look for a replacement. On their radar, according to 'Sport', the club already have several names. The likes of Gundogan, Amrabat and Ruben Neves.
Of the 3 players named above, Barca clearly prefer Amrabat. He is the favourite ahead of even Gundogan.
The style of the Fiorentina midfielder is very much appreciated in Barcelona. There would be doubts, on the other hand, about Ruben Neves, as they don't see him taking Busquets' place in the midfield. As for Gundogan, they believe he could do a good job as a midfielder, but he would not be the captain's replacement.
Amrabat could go to FC Barcelona for 20 million euros. In any case, the club must be up to date with the Financial Fair Play, so the accounts must be balanced before thinking about any incorporation.
