Barcelona is reportedly making efforts to sign Moroccan midfielder Sofyan Amrabat from Fiorentina on a loan deal for the remainder of the season. In addition, the La Liga leaders are considering a loan move for Manchester United winger Anthony Elanga. According to ESPN, La Liga has informed Barcelona that they have a limited amount of salary space available to register new players this season. This situation has prompted the club to explore loan options to strengthen their squad, especially with the January transfer deadline fast approaching.
Barcelona is evaluating various possibilities while also receiving offers from players across Europe. Amrabat could add valuable depth to their midfield; however, Fiorentina has stated that he is not for sale, as his contract runs until 2024. During the 2022 World Cup, Amrabat emerged as one of the standout players of the tournament, playing a crucial role in Morocco’s journey to the semi-finals. Despite Fiorentina currently sitting in 12th place in the Serie A standings, the 26-year-old has attracted interest from clubs like Liverpool and Tottenham Hotspur, although Fiorentina has maintained that he is not on the market.
The Daily Mail UK reports that Barcelona has reached out to Fiorentina regarding a straightforward loan deal, but the Italian club has yet to approve the transfer. As Barcelona sits five points clear at the top of the La Liga table, a positive response from Fiorentina could pave the way for Amrabat to join the Catalan side.
