Sofyan Amrabat has been insistently linked to Manchester United this summer, but the move has yet to materialize. The two teams aren’t currently bargaining directly. The midfielder cast doubts about his departure after a friendly Tuesday (via Tuttomercatoweb).
“I don’t know if I’ll go. I might stay.”
While Fiorentina will reportedly let the player leave for a good offer due to a gentleman’s agreement following the January window, the Italian side is unwilling to sell him at a discount.
Manchester United will have to shell out around €30M if they want to snap up Amrabat, the publication informs. Otherwise, the Viola is happy to keep him. His contract currently expires in a year. Though, the club has an option to prolong it. Therefore, it isn’t under much pressure to get a deal done.
Moreover, the impasse raises suspects that Barcelona, which came very close to signing the Moroccan star in January, will resurface in the final days of the window.
Our Take on Manchester United and Amrabat
The Red Devils had bigger fishes to fry, as a striker and a goalkeeper were more urgent priorities. They can forge ahead for him now. It’s never easy to convince Fiorentina to sell, but they’ll do it for the right bid. The negotiation will probably take a while, though.
