Manchester United Intensifies Pursuit of Moroccan Midfielder

Premier League giants Manchester United have firmly set their sights on Fiorentina’s talented midfielder, Sofyan Amrabat. The Red Devils have wasted no time, making an initial verbal offer to the player’s agent, signaling their strong interest in securing his signature.

According to reputable sources, including the respected reporter Santi Aouna from Foot Mercato, the 26-year-old has become a prime target for Manchester United. Notably, Amrabat’s outstanding performances with Fiorentina have captured the attention of several other clubs, most notably Saudi Arabian outfit Al Ahli, who have reportedly tabled a substantial €15 million bid for the Moroccan international.

However, it appears that Sofyan Amrabat has expressed a clear preference for a move to La Liga. Despite the interest from other clubs, the midfielder is understood to be keen on a potential transfer to a Spanish club, potentially indicating his desire for a new challenge in a different footballing environment.

Manchester United’s recruitment drive has already seen them secure the signings of Mason Mount and Andre Onana this summer, enhancing their squad’s depth and quality. The club’s focus now shifts to bolstering their attacking options with the pursuit of a new striker before the transfer window closes. Following that, the potential move for a midfielder, possibly Amrabat, could be on the cards as Ole Gunnar Solskjaer seeks to fine-tune his squad for the upcoming season.
