Barcelona’s attempts to land Sofyan Amrabat on deadline day appear to be over.

The Catalans had reportedly been keen on bringing the Morocco international to the Camp Nou on loan with a purchase option.

Barca were said to have made an offer earlier in the day that was turned down by Fiorentina, while the midfielder then took to social media with a pretty cryptic message.

Amrabat has since been left out of the Fiorentina squad for tomorrow’s Coppa Italia clash against Torino which has fuelled speculation over a move but the latest update from Fabrizio Romano suggests the deal is dead.
