As Manchester United has finally paid Fiorentina’s asking price, the deal to buy Sofyan Amrabat is about to be finalised.
The Red Devils are planning to make a 25 million euro offer for the Moroccan, but the Viola are demanding at least 30 million euros, according to a report we reported yesterday through Corriere dello Sport.
However, La Gazzetta Dello Sport reported last week that the Serie A club could only receive a maximum of 35 million euros (£30 million) from the sale of the 26-year-old playmaker.
Man Utd have now submitted a proposal of £30 million to capture Amrabat from Fiorentina, according to an exclusive story carried by Sport Italia last night.
According to the news source, the Red Devils are currently one step away from finalising the signing of the African sensation.
The president of France, Emmanuel Macron, personally visited the Atlas Lions’ locker room after Morocco’s World Cup semifinal loss to the Les Bleus and told Amrabat that he had been “the best midfielder of the tournament” (Romano).
Erik ten Hag is well aware of the strengths of the sturdy holding midfielder because it was he who helped him at Utrecth make his breakthrough in Europe.
We are aware that the Fiorentina player and the team at Old Trafford have already reached personal agreement on a deal. Therefore, it won’t be shocking if the sale is closed quickly.
Amrabat might not start right away since Casemiro, the captain of Brazil, is Manchester United’s first-choice defensive midfielder.
