This comes as secret talks have taken place between Fiorentina and United’s representatives.
Sofyan Amrabat is edging ever closer to completing his dream move to United after secret talks held
The midfielder played a starring role in Morocco’s brilliant run to the semi-finals
Amrabat is suddenly United’s first priority after the striker Rasmus Hojland’s acquisition is nearing complete.
The holding midfielder was one of the best players in the competition when his team unexpectedly made it to the quarterfinals of the Qatar World Cup.
The greatest teams in Europe, including PSG, Atletico Madrid, and Liverpool, were impressed by his achievements.
The 26-year-old Moroccan international’s contract has one year left, and Fiorentina are asking roughly £30 million for him.
The latest, Romano continued: “Sofyan Amrabat, not called up for next Fiorentina game.
Manchester United, expected to open formal talks for Amrabat soon as Fred and Donny Van de Beek are close to leaving the club.
Amrabat wants Manchester United, this has never changed.”
Amrabat’s move is quite similar to the case of Rasmus Hojlund. The Danish international did not attend pre-season friendlies to focus on completing his move to Man Utd.
And according to the Daily Mail, a deal could be imminent now that representatives from both sides have met.
Italian journalist Alfredo Pedulla tweeted: “After the sale of Castrovilli (to Bournemouth), it will soon be the turn of Amrabat.
“As already mentioned, there have been SECRET contacts between Fiorentina and MUFC through intermediaries”.
