Manchester United are closing in on the capture of 26-year-old Moroccan midfielder Sofyan Amrabat in a £26 million deal.
According to Daily Mirror via The Faithful MUFC, Manchester United are now on the verge of securing a £26 million agreement for Fiorentina midfielder Sofyan Amrabat.
Amrabat has been outstanding for club and country this past season. So it is no surprise that his performances have attracted the attention of the Red Devils. Manchester United need to add more quality in the middle of the park, and Amrabat seems like the ideal fit for them.
He will add defensive cover and pressing ability in the middle of the park while helping Manchester United win the ball back and dominate the proceedings in the middle. The 26-year-old is at the peak of his powers, and he has the ability to make an immediate impact in the Premier League. He could be a key player for the Red Devils going forward.
The reported £26 million fee could look like a bargain for Amrabat in the coming seasons. The Moroccan international proved himself at the highest level with his country in the 2022 FIFA World Cup, helping them reach the semi-finals of the competition.
Amrabat was undoubtedly one of the best midfielders in the World Cup, and he should be an instant hit in the Premier League as well. His all-action style of play and aggressiveness should be an instant hit with the fans as well.
Manchester United will be hoping to win the league title next season, and they need to improve their squad in order to compete with the likes of Manchester City and Arsenal. The midfield is an area that is in need of improvement, and Amrabat would certainly galvanise Manchester United in the middle of the park.
