Manchester United pursuit of Sofyan Amrabat from Fiorentina appears to be progressing. Particularly in light of the impending departure of midfielder Donny van de Beek. This development comes from reports of Football Transfers.
Manchester United are facing financial constraints that require them to offload players before making further additions to their squad. The club has already made significant investments. Totaling £166 million, in three new signings: Mason Mount, Andre Onana, and Rasmus Højlund.
Erik ten Hag is actively seeking to strengthen his squad for the upcoming season as he aims to compete on multiple fronts. This desire to build a stronger team comes after a successful debut season. During which he clinched the Carabao Cup title and secured qualification for the Champions League.
Erik ten Hag is showing interest in recruiting an additional central midfielder for his squad. Hence, Sofyan Amrabat has emerged as a prominent candidate for this position. However, Manchester United’s ability to pursue new signings is contingent on their ability to offload surplus players. A move that would both generate additional funds and create space for potential newcomers.
Manchester United to sell certain players in hopes of bagging Amrabat
Erik ten Hag reportedly identified Fred, Harry Maguire, Scott McTominay, and Donny van de Beek as players surplus to his requirements. A deal in the approximate range of £30 million is present between Manchester United and West Ham United for the transfer of Maguire. The 30-year-old, who participated in first-team training on Wednesday may undergo a medical examination in the upcoming days.
Should Manchester United successfully secure funds through the sale of Harry Maguire and manage to offload Fred and Donny van de Beek, this could potentially clear the path for them to finalize their intended transfer move for Sofyan Amrabat.
The report suggests that Manchester United has already reached an agreement on personal terms with Moroccan international Sofyan Amrabat. Hence, with this crucial step taken, the club is now progressing closer to completing the signing of the Fiorentina midfielder.
