Fiorentina Aims to Extend Amrabat’s Contract Amid Barcelona Transfer Interest

Fiorentina does not want to let Sofyan Amrabat leave, who had already decided to join FC Barcelona during the January transfer window. To try to prevent the departure of the Moroccan midfielder during the next summer transfer window, the Italian club has summoned the player’s agents to review and extend his contract, which expires in 2024 until 2027, reports Calciomercato, specifying that Fiorentina does not want to lose one of the key players for the club’s future.

During the winter transfer window, Barça had offered a transfer offer with a purchase option of around 40 million euros for Amrabat, but Fiorentina refused to let the Moroccan international leave, who had even publicly demanded his departure for the Spanish club and tried to force his hand with his club. Without success. Fiorentina remained firm in its position until the close of the transfer window. The relationship between Amrabat and Fiorentina has deteriorated after this episode, but the Italian club will try to convince him to stay.

For the moment, the arrival of Sofyan Amrabat at the Camp Nou is not a priority for Barça, which needs to strengthen other positions in the team to improve its results in La Liga. For his part, Amrabat, who was one of the revelations during the World Cup in Qatar with Morocco, still dreams of playing for Barça, even if other Premier League clubs like Liverpool are interested in him.
