Liverpool’s pursuit of Sofyan Amrabat faces competition from Manchester United, as both clubs vie for the Moroccan midfielder’s signature. Despite Liverpool’s recent offer, United seems poised to win the race. Reports suggest that Amrabat has an agreement in place with United, with a salary of around 4-4.5 million euros per season.

Despite interest from other clubs, including Saudi Arabian teams, Liverpool, and Bayern Munich, Amrabat’s heart is set on joining the Manchester side. His representatives have been instructed to wait for United’s decision.

Alfredo Pedulla, an Italian transfer expert, has shed light on the situation, explaining that the deal might materialize closer to the end of the summer transfer window. However, United is presently focusing on offloading unwanted players. Amrabat showcased his prowess as one of the best midfielders at the FIFA World Cup last year, which led to interest from Liverpool, even in previous transfer windows. Amid the ongoing negotiations for Caicedo and Lavia, it’s uncertain whether Liverpool will prioritize pursuing Amrabat.

Fiorentina, Amrabat’s current club, initially demanded 40 million euros for the midfielder’s transfer. However, they have reportedly lowered their asking price to 25 million euros (£21.6m). While Manchester United is yet to initiate direct contact with Fiorentina, it’s anticipated that they will move swiftly to finalize the deal. The outcome of this transfer saga will not only impact Amrabat’s destination but also Liverpool’s pursuit of strengthening their No.6 position.
