In light of Manchester United rumors, Sofyan Amrabat’s agent stated that his player is open to joining “quite a few” teams.
Amrabat has been closely connected with a move to Old Trafford in recent weeks, with some publications speculating that a deal is almost certainly finalized. Although it could be a little premature, United are reportedly interested in the 26-year-old.
After spending £60 million to acquire Mason Mount from Chelsea earlier this month, Erik ten Hag is eager to bolster his midfield and is willing to consider a second addition there. Casemiro, who will turn 32 midway through the upcoming season and faces a ban, should ideally have coverage brought in by the Dutchman.
Amrabat would be the ideal candidate, but United won’t look elsewhere until they have a No. 9 in place. And according to Mahmoud El Boustati, the midfielder’s agent, they might lose out on a lot of interest as a result.
He told Voetbal Primeur that “quite a few clubs are interested in Sofyan.” “Making the best decision now is the key. He still only counts as a Fiorentina player, and he did so on Monday.
“Sofyan and Fiorentina are both willing to take a step if anything interesting presents themselves. He’s open to joining two or three clubs.
There is Saudi Arabian interest. However, neither a concrete offer nor a concrete interest exists.
Amrabat had previously drawn interest from Barcelona and Liverpool, and he may do so again this summer as proposals from Saudi Arabia cast doubt on the futures of both Fabinho and Jordan Henderson. Chelsea is also looking for a central midfielder as they continue their Mauricio Pochettino-led rebuild.
After agreeing that Kobbie Mainoo will be a part of the first-team roster for the upcoming season, United did last week improve their internal midfield alternatives. The 18-year-old has played admirably in all three of the preseason friendly he has started.
Between now and September, Fred might go in the opposite direction because United is eager to trade the Brazilian. Although the midfielder is a major favorite of Fulham manager Marco Silva, he may soon take over Saudi club Al-Ahli.
