Fiorentina manager Vincenzo Italiano has dropped exit-bound midfielder Sofyan Amrabat from his squad that will entertain Lecce on Sunday. According to Fabrizio Romano, the Moroccan’s omission is the latest sign of his imminent departure from the Stadio Artemio Franchi.
Following his eye-catching exploits with Morocco at the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar, Ambrabat has established himself as one of Europe’s most in-demand midfielders. Numerous top clubs, including Manchester United, have been on his tail for quite a while now. But the 27-year-old is still at Fiorentina.
That may not be for long, at least judging by Italiano’s decision to leave him on the sidelines for Sunday’s home clash against Lecce. Aware of Man Utd’s genuine interest in their prized asset, Fiorentina have urged the Premier League heavyweights to come forward with an official bid. However, Erik ten Hag’s men have been radio silent.
Man Utd’s reluctance to accelerate talks with Fiorentina has passed Napoli an invitation to join the fray. The reigning Serie A champions have emerged as the latest side interested in luring Amrabat away from Florence. Rudi Garcia is eager to land another midfielder by the end of the summer.
Napoli came agonizingly close to capturing Gabri Veiga from Celta Vigo. Unfortunately, negotiations broke down at the 11th hour, with the talented Spaniard now on the verge of continuing his career in Saudi Arabia. Amrabat’s name has surfaced as a potential go-to option, but they’ll need to convince Fiorentina.
