Fiorentina’s sought-after midfield star Sofyan Amrabat has been linked with a move to Manchester United for a long time. Still, any business between the English and Italian club has been put in doubt by the interest of Saudi giants Al-Ahli.The Moroccan has been on standby, waiting for Manchester United to sell some of their unneeded players and free up a bit of space in their budget, but it hasn’t happened yet. In the meantime, a club with no money problems has entered the picture.##NAJAVA_MECA_7399166##After signing four Premier League players, Roberto Firmino, Edouard Mendy, Riyad Mahrez and Allan Saint-Maximin, Al-Ahli are looking to add a world-class midfielder to their team ahead of what promises to be an exciting football exhibition in the Gulf kingdom.Amrabat is currently getting paid around $2.2 million per year, while the Saudis are prepared to make his wages around six times higher! The Italian club values their midfielder at around $35 million, a fee that isn’t too big for such a good player. And yet, United’s pursuit of Atalanta’s striker Rasmus Hojlund is stretching the club’s transfer budget to its limits. Despite the limitations, Italian journalist Alfredo Pedulla has reported that the English club has already tabled an offer for the African star.🚨🚨| Saudi side Al-Ahli are trying to beat Man United for the signing of Fiorentina midfielder Sofyan Amrabat!

(@centregoals) July 31, 2023 Amrabat joined Hellas Verona in 2019 from Club Brugge, and since then, he has established a reputation as one of the best holding midfielders in Serie A. He made an impression with Verona and then moved on to play for Fiorentina. There, he formed a solid midfield partnership with Rolando Mandragora and Giacomo Bonaventura under the guidance of manager Vincenzo Italiano. He’ll definitely leave Italy during this transfer window – but we’ve no idea where he’ll end up.
