"Amrabat wants to play for Barcelona"

FC Barcelona continue their search for a midfielder to replace Sergio Busquets for next season. Martin Zubimendi (Real Sociedad), Ilkay Gundogan (Manchester City), Ruben Neves (Wolves) and Sofyan Amrabat (Fiorentina) are some of the candidates on the table of the sporting management.

However, it seems that the Moroccan midfielder will have to be dropped from the list, as Manchester United are willing to make a financial effort to secure his transfer as soon as possible and leave any other team trying to sign him out of the race.

Nordi Amrabat, brother of the Fiorentina midfielder, gave an interview to 'ESPN' and made it clear that his brother has the desire to play in La Liga Santander and that the possibility of signing for Barcelona attracts him.

However, the Moroccan claimed that the financial situation of the Catalan club could complicate the signing of the Morocco international, who had a great World Cup in Qatar and aroused the interest of some of the best European teams.

"Sofyan to West Ham? No, he wants to get to the top and his wish is to play in Spain. He is at the top of Barcelona's shortlist, but you know the economic situation there. There are more clubs interested, some of the best in the world.
