Man Utd get bad news as Fiorentina give Sofyan Amrabat transfer update after ‘Jurgen Klopp makes call to hijack deal’
MANCHESTER UNITED have been handed another blow in their pursuit of Fiorentina man Sofyan Amrabat.
The Red Devils have been long linked with a move for Amrabat, but look as though they may miss out on their target.
Erik ten Hag is looking to add midfield depth to his squad, but will need to sell before he can bring anyone in.
According to reports, United are unable to make anymore signings without raising funds due to FFP concerns.
And Fiorentina director Daniele Prade seems to be hinting that Man Utd are unable to bid for Amrabat despite the 26-year-old’s desire to leave Italy for a bigger club.
Speaking to the club’s official YouTube channel, he said: “The situation is clear, he wants to join a top club and we want to satisfy him,
“But if we receive no offers, he will stay with us. We don’t have a player like him in the team.”
And to make matters worse for United, rivals Liverpool have been sniffing around Amrabat themselves.
The Reds are said to be interested in bringing the Morocco international in after missing out on midfield targets Moises Caicedo and Romeo Lavia to Chelsea.
According to Viola News, Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp called up Amrabat this week in a bid to convince him to make the switch to Anfield over Old Trafford.
