Although Manchester United paid a high price to get Casemiro last year, they have continued to pursue Sofyan Amrabat, a defensive midfielder.
The Red Devils are reportedly interested in signing the Moroccan international from Fiorentina this summer, according to numerous media reports.
Sport reported yesterday that Man Utd is eager to sign the African playmaker and has advanced negotiations to entice him.
According to the Catalan media outlet, Amrabat wants to play for Barcelona but is aware that the Spanish champions must first address their financial problems.
The Old Trafford team sought to hire the 26-year-old in January, according to today’s edition of La Gazzetta Dello Sport, but the Viola prevented the transfer.
According to an Italian media site, United are finally interested in signing him, and the playmaker will be free to depart this summer if the asking price of £34.5 million (40 million euros) is satisfied.
Fiorentina finished eighth in the Serie A (which ended yesterday), but if they defeat West Ham United in the Conference League championship game on Wednesday, they will earn a spot in the Europa League for the following campaign.
One of the stars of the FIFA World Cup in Qatar was Amrabat. He was a rock-solid DM for Morocco, which advanced to the competition’s semifinals.
Against powerful opponents like Portugal, Spain, Croatia, and Belgium, the 48-cap international helped his country maintain a perfect record.
