The race for Sofyan Amrabat’s signature has intensified, with both Liverpool and Manchester United vying for his services. The Moroccan midfielder, currently with Fiorentina, has until Friday to secure a move away.

Recent reports suggest that Liverpool, having already missed out on Lavia and Caicedo to Chelsea, could be dealt another transfer setback as Amrabat seems poised for a potential move to Old Trafford.

According to a recent update from 90min, Manchester United has reached an agreement on personal terms with the player for a summer transfer. Adding to Liverpool’s concerns, the Red Devils have also reportedly negotiated a fee of £29 million with Fiorentina to finalize the transfer.

However, a stumbling block for Erik ten Hag’s side is the need to offload some of their current midfielders to make room for Amrabat’s arrival. The Moroccan international showcased his prowess as the standout defensive midfielder during the FIFA World Cup, thwarting renowned European teams like Croatia, Belgium, Portugal, and Spain in Qatar.

Furthermore, he played a pivotal role in Fiorentina’s journey to the final of the UEFA Conference League last season. As things stand, United’s primary choice for the holding midfield role is the 31-year-old Casemiro, while Liverpool has recently acquired the 30-year-old Endo to anchor their midfield.

Both Liverpool and Manchester United are in search of a dynamic midfielder in the prime of their career. The intriguing question remains: who will ultimately secure the services of Sofyan Amrabat? Only time will unveil the answer.
