According to the Moroccan press, Sofyan Amrabat is set to join Man Utd and become the club’s third signing this summer.
Moroccan journalist Izem Anass reported that Man United had reached an agreement with Fiorentina for the transfer of Amrabat. Even the player’s medical examination schedule has been planned.
Amrabat has a contract until June 2024 with Fiorentina after joining from Club Brugge in 2020. He began to be interested by the big boys after a brilliant performance at the 2022 World Cup for Morocco.
Barcelona and Atletico Madrid are the two most contacted teams. But it seems that Man United is the winner, having reached a personal agreement with this player from last week. The final hurdle is the transfer price with Fiorentina which has also been pegged at 30 million euros (£26 million).
Amrabat began his professional career in the Netherlands with Utrecht, before joining Feyenoord. He then moved to Club Brugge before signing with Fiorentina.
If he officially joins Man United, Amrabat will be the club’s third signing of the summer, following the arrivals of Mason Mount and Andre Onana.
After completing this deal, coach Erik ten Hag will do his best to recruit a new striker. Atalanta’s Rasmus Hojlund is the Dutch teacher’s number 1 target.
