Man Utd ‘agree personal terms with Sofyan Amrabat as they look to pull off shock transfer for Fiorentina star’
MANCHESTER UNITED have agreed personal terms with Sofyan Amrabat, reports in Italy say.
Amrabat attracted attention from across Europe after shining for Morocco in the winter World Cup.
Liverpool were among those interested in the midfielder, who 49 appearances last season.
But according to Violanews, United have an agreement in place with the player but must come to a transfer fee with Fiorentina.
On the contrary, transfer guru Fabrizio Romano told The United Stand that NO agreement is in place between the club and player.
But he claimed United did look at Amrabat as an option in January.
His club future was in doubt in June, when he left Morocco’s national squad.
Amrabat played in last month’s goalless friendly draw with Cape Verde but he was absent for for the Africa Cup of Nations qualifying defeat to South Africa.
Morocco manager Walid Regragui later revealed why Amrabat was not involved and hinted the star could be about to leave Fiorentina.
He said: “I decided to let him go.
“He’s played a lot of games this year, I wouldn’t want to risk that, especially as he’ll be signing for a new club soon.”
