In the player database on Manchester United's official website, No.4 players Sofyan · Amrabat are prominently listed. However, he is no longer a Red Devils player, but a Fiorentina man. The Red Devils were eligible to spend €25 million to activate the buy-out clause by last month, but boss Sir Jim · Ratcliffe felt it was too expensive and now the buy-out clause has expired.
The 27-year-old did not attend Fiorentina's pre-season training camp, but a video posted on social media two weeks ago showed the Morocco iron waist training with Manchester United pants. There is no doubt that he is still dreaming of a call from Manchester United, which is the highest stage he can strive for.
Amrabat's weekly salary in Serie A is just £30,000, with Fiorentina pricing him at €15 million. But Manchester United still haven't taken substantive action because he is just a "spare tire" for the club. However, despite Amrabat's dream of making a permanent move to the Red Devils, he should not wait until the summer window closes as he did last year.
According to British media, Amrabat is also interested in the prospect of playing for Mourinho after Fenerbahce has expressed interest in recent weeks. He believes Jose Mourinho is one of football's greatest managers and that under his leadership, he is likely to show his style in a less demanding league than the Premier League. Moreover, Fenerbahce has a chance to compete for the league title and participate in the Champions League.
According to rumors, the boss told Fenerbahce that it was best to sign Amrabat, and the style of the Morocco iron waist is very much in line with the Portugal madman's requirements. The Turkish Super League club is willing to pay a transfer fee of 10 million euros, and with the floating clause can reach 15 million euros, which basically meets Fiorentina's requirements.Fenerbahce is in talks and is ready to offer Amrabat a contract.
Manchester United wanted to bring in a new midfielder in the summer window, but Casemiro never left. When asked about the status of "Fat Tiger" in the United States for the new season, Ten Hag was visibly hesitant to face the question of whether he wanted to keep Brazil's iron waist. After thinking about it for a while, he gave the answer that as long as the players are willing to fight for the team emblem, they can stay.
According to the Manchester Evening News in United Kingdom, Manchester United's rationale for keeping Amrabat on the official website is that he could still sign a permanent contract. But with only three weeks left in the summer window, the decision has not yet been made on whether to introduce him, and the degree of optimism about him can be said to be low. With the exception of his impressive performances at the end of the season, especially in the FA Cup final win over Manchester City, Amrabat seems to have struggled to convince Rajue, so he is now just a target for the Reds to bring in reinforcements.
United still have five first-team midfielders, Casemiro, Kobe · Maynor, Scott McTominay, Eriksen and Mason · Mount, but most of them are inclined to attack. Ten Hag needs to buy a defensive midfielder, but there is no place in the squad, and the midfielder is spending more than £750,000 a week.
Manchester United need and want to lower the average age of their midfielders, but Eriksen is reluctant to leave and is expected to spend the final year of his contract at the club, while Casemiro's four-year contract is only two years old and Fulham have already abandoned the £20 million offer for Scott McTominay after it was rejected.
Ten Hag could only use 20-year-old Academy midfielder Toby · Collier as a 'new signing' at the start of the season. After last season's FA Cup final, Ten Hag headed straight to Wembley Stadium to watch Collier, and insisted on attending his new contract signing ceremony last month.
