Sofyan Amrabat of Fiorentina is allegedly Man United’s top transfer target, but Premier League rivals are also interested.
Sofyan Amrabat, a target for Manchester United, reportedly rejected a move to Nottingham Forest as soon as a £17 million deal with Fiorentina was apparently reached. Amrabat is United’s top target as the transfer season nears its conclusion, although Premier League opponents are also interested in him.
Prior to the deadline on Friday at 11 p.m., United is in severe need of strengthening in the middle. Amrabat is apparently their top desire, but due to Financial Fair Play restrictions, the Red Devils may be forced to sign the 27-year-old on a loan.
However, it appears like Nottingham Forest will challenge Erik ten Hag for the signing of Amrabat. According to rumors, Nottingham Forest and Fiorentina have reached an agreement for the Moroccan to join.
According to reports, the two teams disagreed with the Midlands organization’s offer of £17 million. Amrabat was subsequently given the choice to accept or reject the transfer. Sport Italia claims that Amrabat ‘instantly’ rejected the move. According to the source, the former Club Brugge midfielder has ruled out interest from other teams and only wants to sign with United this summer.
Amrabat has been kept off of Fiorentina’s roster to begin the season in an effort to aid in his search for a new team. His outstanding efforts for Morocco at the World Cup in Qatar last year helped him gain notoriety.
United are seen to be the favorites to sign him. However, they must work quickly to finalize a transfer before Friday at 11 p.m.
The Old Trafford administration is negotiating a contract with the Italian team to sign Amrabat, claims The Athletic. It is asserted that FFP makes a loan agreement more likely than a permanent relocation.
Ryan Gravenberch, a rising talent for Bayern Munich, has also been connected to United. Amrabat, however, continues to take precedence at present time.
This season, Ten Hag’s midfield has struggled in the Premier League, while Mason Mount, a recent addition, is currently out due to injury. The seasoned Brazilian Casemiro has faced criticism for his performances, but on Saturday he scored in the 3-2 victory over Nottingham Forest.
