Sofyan Amrabat hasn’t lived up to expectations at Manchester United and might head back to Fiorentina in the summer. The Red Devils would need to activate a €20M option to buy to keep him. They already spent €9M for the initial loan. The deal also envisages €5M add-ons, Calciomercato informed.
The 27-year-old has collected 20 appearances but hasn’t been a regular starter. He last got the nod in December before AFCON. He hasn’t contributed to a goal this campaign.
Manchester United are currently leaning toward not redeeming Amrabat. They are expected to make their final decision in a month’s time. The midfielder left Fiorentina after three campaigns a few months after faring exceptionally well in the Qatari World Cup with Morocco.
The Viola had little leverage at that point since he didn’t have much time left on his contract. Instead, they rebuffed Barcelona right after the international competition, which caused tension with the player.
Our Take on Amrabat and Manchester United
It wouldn’t be a great outcome for Fiorentina, but they can’t complain since they got a rich sum just for the loan. It’s improbable he’ll stay put if he returns, but it wouldn’t be tough to get the same sum, or perhaps even more, elsewhere since he’s in the prime of his career. Such scenario would be more hurtful economically for Manchester United than for them. He’d eventually be a great fit for teams using 4-2-3-1 or 4-4-2, but there aren’t many at the top in Serie A.
