FC Barcelona is making rounds. The Blaugrana won the La Liga title on Sunday with four games remaining amid the potential return of Lionel Messi. However, their veteran Sergio Busquets will leave the club at the end of the season. He made the announcement recently after 15 years of service at Blaugrana. Meanwhile, Barcelona is already working on the replacement of the veteran midfielder. The club is active in the transfer market for a few months. Serie A side Fiorentina’s midfielder Sofyan Amrabat is on the club’s radar, especially after his World Cup performances for Morocco. Amrabat is valued at $27 million, and his contract with the Serie A side runs until June 2024.
Amrabat liked a transfer specialist Fabrizio Romano’s tweet congratulating FC Barcelona for winning the title. It has excited Barcelona fans, who think the Moroccan is Busquets’ able replacement. One of the fans wrote, “He’s coming home.”

It seems that despite the financial woes, Catalan giants will be active in the transfer window. They are also working on reducing the wage bill to register a few contracts and bring Lionel Messi back. Busquets leaving the club will free a significant amount of wage bill. But the question arises where will Busquets play next season?
Will Busquets play alongside Cristiano Ronaldo?

Rumors suggest Saudi Arabian clubs are interested in the services of the veteran midfielder. One of the clubs is Al Nassr. If Al Nassr succeeds in their attempt, we can see Busquets playing alongside Cristiano Ronaldo. It will make him one of the few players to have played with Messi, Ronaldo, and Neymar Jr.
There’s also interest from another Saudi club Al Hilal, who are trying to bring Messi with an outrageous offer already on the table. MLS clubs are also in contention for the former Spanish midfielder. It will be interesting to see where Busquets will play next season.
