Manchester United have made their move to sign Sofyan Amrabat before the summer transfer window closes.
A report from Calciomercato claims that Manchester United have submitted a €30 million bid to sign 27-year-old Florentina midfielder Sofyan Amrabat.
Amrabat has been linked with a move to the Premier League in recent weeks, and Fulham are reportedly keeping tabs on the player as well. However, the Moroccan midfielder is keen on moving to Old Trafford, and it remains to be seen whether all parties can come to an agreement soon.
The transfer window closes later today, and Manchester United will look to get the deal done as soon as possible. The Red Devils need midfield reinforcements, and Amrabat would be a quality acquisition. The 27-year-old is at the peak of his career, and he would certainly improve the Red Devils.
He could form a quality partnership with Casemiro and take up the role vacated by Fred, who left Manchester United earlier this summer. The Red Devils are likely to part ways with Scott McTominay as well. The Scottish international has fallen down the pecking order at Old Trafford and he needs to leave in search of regular playing time.
The likes of Fulham and West Ham United are reportedly keen on signing the 26-year-old. Amrabat is available for a reasonable price this summer because of his contract situation, and Manchester United cannot afford to miss out on him.
The midfielder is in the final year of his contract with the Serie A club, and it makes sense for Florentina to sell him for a reasonable price instead of losing him for free next summer. Manchester United will be competing in the UEFA Champions League this season, and they will look to win a trophy this year.
They will need to improve their squad in order to do well and some more like Amrabat will add some much-needed aggression, defensive cover, and physicality to their midfield. The 27-year-old has the physical and technical attributes to thrive in English football, and he seems tailor-made for Manchester United.
The Moroccan international proved his quality in the 2022 FIFA World Cup, and he is certainly good enough to hit the ground running in the Premier League now. It will be interesting to see if Manchester United can complete a €30 million deal for their top midfield target.
