Fiorentina #Fiorentina
Manchester United are reportedly working to sign Fiorentina star Sofyan Amrabat before the transfer deadline, although it is likely to be a loan.
WHAT HAPPENED? The Athletic reports that United are hoping to seal a deal for the midfielder before Friday’s deadline but the deal is complicated by the club’s current Financial Fair Play situation. As a result, United are attempting to agree a loan deal with Fiorentina for Amrabat, who is set to be left out of the Italian club’s Europa Conference League play-off squad once again for their second leg tie against Rapid Wien on Thursday.
THE BIGGER PICTURE: The club have been linked with the Morocco international throughout the summer and the 27-year-old is keen to move to Old Trafford. United have also considered a deal for Bayern Munich’s Ryan Gravenberch but Amrabat is currently top of Erik ten Hag’s list of midfield targets.
