According to reports, Sofyan Amrabat of Fiorentina is being pursued by Manchester United.
Rasmus Hojlund of Atalanta is currently being signed by United, but after that, they might decide to improve their midfield alternatives.
Amrabat, 26, was a vital member of the Moroccan team that created history by becoming the first African team to advance past the World Cup quarterfinals last year.
La Nazione (via Football365) asserts that the only obstacle preventing United from signing their target is a disparity in price.
The 13-time Premier League champions are thought to be the only team seriously interested’ in Amrabat, who is valued at €30 million (£25.9 million) by Transfermarkt and would need to increase their offer by €3-5 million to close a deal.
Amrabat, a Dutchman by birth, started his professional career at Utrecht before switching to Feyenoord.
The deep-lying playmaker, whose older brother Nordin played for Watford in the Premier League, joined Fiorentina in 2020 after stints at Club Brugge and Hellas Verona.
As United gets ready to compete in the Champions League again the following season, their 2023–24 team is gradually taking shape thanks to some impressive transactions.
Last week, they added goalie Andre Onana, who joined Inter Milan for £47.2 million, becoming their second acquisition of the current transfer season.
Mason Mount, who came from Chelsea for an initial £55 million earlier this month, arrived before Onana.
