Manchester United midfield target still waiting for an offer from Barcelona

Sofyan Amrabat has been heavily linked with FC Barcelona since the January transfer window. The Fiorentina and Morocco midfielder has been attracting interest from several clubs across Europe, but he is understood to be ‘crazy’ about a move to Catalonia.

But, talks over a move for the 26-year-old have gone quiet of late, with Barcelona deciding to move on to other targets such as Oriol Romeu.

Despite that, according to a report from Gabriel Sans of Mundo Deportivo, even though things have been quiet, Amrabat still has a deep desire to join Barcelona and is waiting for an offer from the Blaugrana despite serious interest coming from Manchester United.

Barcelona have been scouring the market for a new defensive midfielder after the departure of Sergio Busquets. The likes of Joshua Kimmich, Martin Zubimendi, and Marcelo Brozovic had been at the top of the agenda but moves never materialised.

As such, a transfer for Romeu is now in the works, but Amrabat still remains on the agenda at Can Barça. A move for him is no longer seen as a priority although the club were prepared to go all out for him at one point when they were hoping to sign Lionel Messi.

Now, despite the Catalans looking at other options, Amrabat is hoping that Barcelona come up with an offer for him.

In the meantime, Manchester United are also interested in the Fiorentina midfielder and have been hoping to make a move for him. However, the Red Devils have not made a formal offer for the Moroccan international as of yet.

Amrabat continues to wait for an offer for Barcelona, but given that they are making progress on the Romeu deal, it looks extremely unlikely that they will revisit the interest in the Moroccan international.
