According to Fabrizio Romano for The Guardian, Manchester United could sign Sofyan Amrabat this summer – but only after selling Fred or Donny van de Beek.
What is the most recent transfer news involving Manchester United?
More transactions are being made in the transfer market to ensure that the Red Devils have a squad that can compete on all fronts as they look to continue their charge towards the top of the Premier League next season. After securing a spot in the Champions League for the upcoming season and with many cups still to be won, the team must make sure they have the depth and skills necessary to win some hardware.
Rasmus Hojlund is the big name linked to a move to Old Trafford, suggesting that United’s current transfer priority is in the attack. The English team appears to have focused on the Atalanta youngster and is determined to sign him this summer in order to bolster their goal scoring capabilities. According to a recent report, they intend to make quick progress with the young player after completing a deal to sign Andre Onana as their custodian and will make a new offer to try to land him this summer amid competition for his signature.
Sofyan Amrabat is a new hire for Manchester United.
Sofyan Amrabat is another person whose name has frequently come up in connection with a United transfer. The midfielder from Fiorentina has apparently been on the club’s radar for most of the summer, and a recent report makes it seem like a deal could actually happen. As a result, the Serie A club may be open to hearing offers for the 26-year-old this transfer window if it turns out that he is no longer in their plans.
Now, a new report from Fabrizio Romano in The Guardian claims that Amrabat is unquestionably on the Red Devils’ summer wish list, but there is a condition that must be met before a deal can be made. The reason for this is that the journalist claims that he is “under consideration” by the Premier League team, but a deal might only materialise if Fred or Donny van de Beek can be offloaded. It also states that the club does not place a high priority on improving its midfield, which means a deal for the Moroccan would only be possible if a gap appeared in the field’s centre.
When Morocco competed in the World Cup last year, Amrabat really distinguished himself on the international stage. Those who were able to see him play were very complimentary of his performances, which helped the team finish the tournament in fourth place, which was their best-ever finish.
Following their victory over Spain, ex-pro and current pundit Joe Cole lavished praise on the midfielder, calling him “outstanding” and among the best holding midfielders he had seen at that tournament.
It demonstrates that the 26-year-old can compete on the biggest stage, and the Red Devils’ middle of the pitch would benefit from his addition to the team if he joins Man United. It might be shrewd transfer business if they sign him at that time.
