Report: Malaga to move for Barcelona's Ibrahim Afellay

Malaga are reportedly preparing a move for Barcelona's out-of-favour midfielder Ibrahim Afellay.

The 27-year-old, who joined the Catalan outfit from PSV Eindhoven in 2011, has struggled to command a first-team spot in Spain since his arrival.

The Dutchman spent last season on loan with Schalke 04, but according to Mundo Deportivo, Malaga are prepared to offer the winger regular football in La Liga.

Afellay has made just 20 appearances for Barcelona.
