Sofyan Amrabat has reportedly been given the “all clear” to “undergo a medical,” and Manchester United is reportedly close to signing him. Amrabat is a midfielder for Fiorentina.
Amrabat is one of United’s top summer objectives, as Erik ten Hag hopes to reunite with the brilliant midfielder, it has been widely reported throughout this summer.
The Moroccan international attracted interest from clubs throughout Europe last season after excelling for Fiorentina in Europe and at the World Cup.
Before intensifying their interest in Amrabat, it has been reported that Man Utd must shed some undesired players after spending over £150 million to sign Andre Onana, Mason Mount, and Rasmus Hojlund.
Donny van de Beek is expected to leave the club after Anthony Elanga, Fred, Alex Telles, and David De Gea did so this summer.
Man United reportedly made a loan offer for Amrabat on Wednesday, but Italian journalist Gianluca Di Marzio later said Fiorentina will “reject all loan offers” for the center-midfielder.
United apparently wanted to make a loan agreement to avoid Financial Fair Play penalties, but Football Insider now claims that they have “made a breakthrough in their pursuit of Fiorentina midfielder Amrabat.”
According to the source, Amrabat has been given the go-ahead by the Italian club to fly to Manchester for talks and a physical, suggesting that a deal is inching closer. They include.
However, Manchester United fans should not get too enthused just yet. They “did not send an official bid” to Fiorentina on Wednesday, but the Italian team “would accept a loan-to-buy deal,” according to transfer expert Fabrizio Romano.
Despite rumors, Sofyan Amrabat has not received a loan offer from Manchester United, according to Romano, who spoke to Caught Offside.
“The only thing that happened yesterday was that Man United spoke with Fiorentina through middlemen. Fiorentina made it plain that they might be open to a loan move even though they did not submit an official bid, but only if there was an obligation to buy provision. They would accept a loan-to-buy arrangement and essentially seek a permanent transfer.
The onus is now on United, but as of right now, no loan offer has been made, according to all of my sources. As of right now, Amrabat is still Man United’s top priority, and negotiations will go forward.
