According to Corriere dello Sport (page 7), Fiorentina are anticipating a firm response from Manchester United regarding their interest in midfielder Sofyan Amrabat.
United have been actively conducting transfers this month, having already secured signings like Mason Mount and Andre Onana. Additionally, they have reached an agreement with Atalanta for Rasmus Hojlund.
The club’s next potential target could be a defensive midfielder, with reports suggesting that they are highly interested in signing Amrabat, especially after manager Erik ten Hag’s intervention.
Fiorentina are now waiting for a definite approach from United. They want assurance that the Red Devils are prepared to meet their €30 million asking price for Amrabat.

The African star had an impressive 2022/23 season with standout performances for both Fiorentina and the Moroccan national team.
He played a crucial role in Morocco’s surprising World Cup semi-final run and helped Fiorentina reach the finals of the Coppa Italia and UEFA Conference League.
Amrabat’s ball control and distribution skills are his key strengths, making him a valuable addition as a deputy to Casemiro, potentially surpassing players like Scott McTominay and Fred in that role.

His strong work rate and ability to disrupt play with well-timed fouls make him a perfect fit for the team. Ten Hag, who knows Amrabat from their time together at Utrecht, has already given his approval, and the midfielder has agreed on personal terms with United.
The transfer is expected to be a straightforward process once United agrees on the fee, although it could be delayed if the club seeks to recoup funds through player sales first.
