Transfer: Man United finally decide to sign 27-year-old midfielder for Ten Hag
Manchester United have initiated the process of acquiring Fiorentina midfielder Sofyan Amrabat, a move that aligns with the desires of their manager, Erik ten Hag.
Ten Hag has been actively seeking to enhance his squad with the addition of a new defensive midfielder, someone who can provide competition, coverage, and support for Casemiro. Amrabat emerged as a prime candidate for this role, given his compatibility with Ten Hag’s vision.
The history between the Dutch coach and the Moroccan international from their time at Utrecht has contributed to this interest. Despite harboring a longstanding intent to secure Amrabat’s services, Manchester United has opted to formalize their approach in the final days of the summer transfer window.
As per The Athletic, Manchester United has now progressed to the advanced stages of negotiations with Fiorentina to secure Amrabat’s transfer. While there was a point where Fiorentina’s valuation of Amrabat was set at £30 million, Manchester United aims to secure a last-minute loan deal instead.
Evidently, Amrabat is eager to become a part of the Premier League giants’ roster in the current summer transfer window.
