After Barcelona secured their status as La Liga winners, Fabrizio Romano put out a post on the result. Sofyan Amrabat, who has been a target for the club, liked the social media post.

The Moroccan midfielder was one of the most crucial pieces of Walid Regragui's team that finished fourth in the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar.

He currently plays for Serie A side Fiorentina. The tenacious midfielder was linked with a January move to Camp Nou. A deal, though, didn't come to fruition.

His latest social media activity might signal that the player is a keen admirer of the Catalan club. With Sergio Busquets leaving at the end of the season, Xavi might look to reinforce his team's options in the middle of the park. Amrabat could once again emerge as a target for the Catalan giants.
