Manchester United have been handed a huge boost to their hopes of signing Sofyan Amrabat from Fiorentina this summer.
According to a report from TuttoMercatoWeb, Man United can now pick up the Fiorentina midfielder for a bargain fee.
The Serie A club reportedly wanted €25 million for Amrabat, but they could now be prepared to sell him for just €20m.
Man United manager Erik ten Hag desperately needs to bolster his central midfield ranks at Old Trafford before the transfer window closes.
Casemiro has looked well off the pace during the opening two Premier League games.
If United are to finish inside the top four, let alone win the league, Ten Hag needs to sign Amrabat immediately.
Manchester United must move quickly to sign Sofyan Amrabat for just €20m
Fiorentina could be willing to lower their demands for the Moroccan star to just €20m.
On that basis, United must sign him – he’d be a special addition to Ten Hag’s ranks at Old Trafford.
Described by several respected pundits as an ‘elite’ defensive midfielder, Amrabat possesses everything United are lacking right now.
Amrabat has energy, dynamism, athleticism, pace and power in abundance. He’s also excellent in possession and has the ability to control the tempo from the base of central midfield.
The Fiorentina star is tailor-made for Premier League football with his tenacious tackling and aggressive approach to the game.
If Man United sign Amrabat for just €20 million, it would be the bargain of the summer.
