In recent days, it is likely that Sergio Busquets will agree to extend his contract with FC Barcelona, ??which will end this season. Xavi Hernández has put his full faith in the culé captain, but Inter Miami and Al-Hilal are increasingly seducing the 34-year-old with determination and the 'number 5' leaving the Camp Nou seems quite convincing. after a lifetime of defending the Blaugrana shirt.
Despite the fact that Xavi has not given up on keeping the midfielder, he has been searching the market for some time to find the best alternative to Busquets and the coach has one goal. obviously inherit the number '5', the first one will be free next summer:
Sofiane Amrabat.
As we know from Don Balón, the Moroccan midfielder from Fiorentina is Xavi's prime candidate to replace Busquets in the team's defensive midfield next season and strengthen a creative line, if every If it goes well, there will be Pedri, Frenkie de Jong, Gavi and Franck Kessie, although the continuity of the latter is also in doubt.
Recall that Amrabat has received offers since the last World Cup in Qatar with a truly brilliant version. His game against Luis Enrique's Spain went too well and completely nullified Pedri's creativity, The red had numerous problems creating dangerous chances. His performances were essential to Morocco reaching the semi-finals of the tournament and since then, the player has been the focus of the attention of many big-name clubs in Europe.
It is true that in January, Fiorentina was very strict about the finances of the player to leave, but the Italian team knew that Amrabat's contract would end in 2024 and next summer would be a great opportunity for them to save. the figure of about 15 million pounds for the transfer. .
Xavi, knowing that Barca could not achieve more ambition, has turned to the board wishing to have the African-American player in the squad to best make up for Busquets' split, a farewell that seemed impossible avoid.
