On Wednesday, we covered a report from Italy claiming that Manchester United could try and seal a deal for Sofyan Amrabat before the weekend.
This is corroborated by Gazzetta dello Sport on Thursday, who have a small but rather informative article on the situation around the Morocco international.
They claim that alongside a few clubs in Spain, which would be Barcelona and Atlético Madrid even if they aren’t named, Manchester United have been the team ‘ready to attack’ for the defensive midfielder.
It’s no secret that Erik ten Hag wants to bolster his midfield this summer, and the 28-year-old would certainly be a rather easy target to get.
His price of €25-30m is rather affordable compared to some of the prices for other midfielders, and he would bring a fair chunk of experience with him, having delighted viewers with his performances at the World Cup in Qatar for Morocco.
Now that the André Onana deal has been sorted, Gazzetta reckon Manchester United could ‘really sink’ a blow for the Fiorentina star ‘within a few days’, thus continuing their spending in Italy after the purchase of the Cameroon international.
Whether they actually do remains to be seen, and it could be they first focus on convincing Atalanta to sell Rasmus Højlund before going after Amrabat.
