Manchester United have a chance to sign Fiorentina midfielder Sofyan Amrabat for just €20 million
Manchester United have just received a major transfer boost as the ongoing summer transfer window approaches its end.
According to TuttoMercatoWeb, Fiorentina midfielder Sofyan Amrabat might be available at a reduced price. While initially asking for €25 million, the Serie A side seems willing to consider offers as low as €20m.
This is a great development since Erik ten Hag will now have a chance to strengthen the team’s central midfield options to form a balanced starting XI.
This urgency stems from concerns about Casemiro’s performance in the first two Premier League games, where he appeared to struggle against the quicker players.
The manager is under pressure to secure the signing of Amrabat to have a realistic chance at securing a top-four finish.
Fiorentina may consider lowering their asking price for the defensive midfielder to fund a move. In light of this, Man United would want to secure his signature, as he would bring a unique dimension to Ten Hag’s squad at Old Trafford.
The 27-year-old is highly regarded for his superb performances for Monaco in the 2022 World Cup that was held in Qatar. Amrabat possesses attributes that are currently lacking in the United lineup.
He brings an abundance of energy, dynamism, speed, and power to the team. Additionally, he excels in ball possession and can dictate the pace of play from the heart of midfield.
Amrabat’s style of play, characterised by tenacious tackling and an aggressive approach, appears tailor-made for the demands of Premier League football.
If the Red Devils manage to acquire Amrabat for the mentioned bargain price, it could potentially be the steal of the summer transfer window.
However, a lot depends on the current player sales going on at the club. United would need to make sure that they sell their unwanted players in the next few days to have any chance to provide an offer to Fiorentina before the deadline day.
The transfer is in a zone where the club can’t make any loose decisions or risk losing the player altogether.

Moving into the new season without a specialised No. 6 will hurt United’s chances of competing in the Premier League, let alone the more challenging UEFA Champions League.
