According to RAI Sport via Football Italia (h/t Manchester Evening News), Manchester United has agreed personal terms with Fiorentina star Sofyan Amrabat for a summer transfer.
The midfielder is anticipated to leave the Florence-based club during the current transfer window. As a result, a number of other top teams are keeping an eye on him.
The Red Devils, though, have offered the Moroccan international treble his current wage in order to make the swap a reality. It remains to be seen whether United will be willing to invest at least €30 million in the 26-year-old.
Mason Mount is on his way to United from Chelsea. We are prepared to pay the Blues £60 million for his services. That amounts to over half of our initial summer spending.
As a result, bolstering the middle of the park will have to wait. First and foremost, the Red Devils should concentrate on and prioritize the acquisition of a new number-one goalie and a center-forward.
Amrabat is an excellent midfield enforcer. Over the last year, the Moroccan has grown into his own. He shone for the Atlas Lions in the 2022 World Cup and also helped Fiorentina in the 2022/23 season.
Casemiro has claimed the number six jersey at Manchester United. Last summer, the Brazilian was signed. Since then, the former Real Madrid great has brought much-needed talent to the engine room of the Red Devils.
Unfortunately, we depended significantly on the 31-year-old’s brilliance last season. We struggled to get positive results without him. Bench players like Fred and Scott McTominay were unable to give appropriate protection.
