BREAKING: Manchester United Signs #Amrabat From Fiorentina?—Manchester United are weighing up a £30 million move for Fiorentina midfielder Sofyan Amrabat, claim the Mirror.
Erik ten Hag’s side are on the hunt for a striker with Atalanta’s Rasmus Hojlund top of their shortlist. But they would also like to boost their midfield and have the Morocco international in mind.
The report states: “United are closing in on a £60m deal for Hojlund and will then consider whether a move for Amrabat is viable – if they can sell some fringe players.
“Erik ten Hag is working with a net budget of around £120m, but United can increase their spending power by jettisoning players who are not wanted. United have already banked around £20m from the sales of Anthony Elanga and Alex Telles, who have joined Nottingham Forest and Al Nassr respectively.
“Eric Bailly, Dean Henderson, Fred and Donny van de Beek have also been told they can leave, while United will consider selling Harry Maguire and Scott McTominay for the right money. West Ham have been told they must pay £40m for Scotland midfielder McTominay, 26, who has two years left on his current contract. United sources have confirmed defensive midfielder Amrabat, a key member of Morocco’s side that reached the World Cup semi-finals, is on their shortlist.”
