Mercato: a Barça lead in Mourinho's suitcases at PSG?

Presented in Catalonia as the priority of Xavi to replace Sergio Busquets this summer at Barça, Sofyan Amrabat also appeals to PSG, as had already filtered. This Wednesday, FootMercato goes further and assures that Jose Mourinho, in case of a summer signing at PSG, would like to bring the Moroccan international from Fiorentina in his suitcases.

Al-Khelaïfi would hesitate between Mourinho and Motta

Jose Mourinho and Thiago Motta would be the two options favored by Nasser Al-Khelaïfi to succeed Christophe Galtier according to FM and the Portuguese coach would have already submitted his ideas to the Qatari leader to turn around the Parisian club. One of them would be to recruit Amrabat, who has one year left on his contract at Fiorentina. According to FM, the Viola is asking for €40 million for their Moroccan international, a sum that Barça cannot afford at the moment.

Will PSG take advantage of this to win the bid? The first step will be to convince Amrabat, whose priority was to join Barcelona according to the same source. The Amrabat deal is still far from being completed for PSG, especially if it is conditional on the arrival of Mourinho, which is possible but still uncertain at this stage.
