As the football transfer window approaches its final stages, the future of Sofyan Amrabat remains shrouded in uncertainty. Despite recent speculation about his departure, the Moroccan midfielder has been included in Fiorentina’s squad for their upcoming friendly match against SC Freiburg, leading to questions about his future with the Italian club.
Fiorentina will face SC Freiburg on August 10, 2024, in what is set to be their final pre-season friendly.
Coach Raffaele Palladino has named a squad of 28 players for the fixture, and among them is Amrabat, a player whose future has been the subject of considerable speculation.
His inclusion in the squad raises questions about whether he is still part of Palladino’s plans or if Fiorentina is using this as a tactic to attract potential suitors, notably Manchester United.
Amrabat’s future at Fiorentina has been uncertain since his return from a loan spell at Manchester United.
Despite having one season remaining on his contract with the Italian club, Amrabat has made it clear that he wishes to leave.
The 27-year-old Moroccan international has reportedly turned down offers from several clubs, including Fenerbahçe and West Ham, with a return to Manchester United being his preferred option.
However, Manchester United has yet to prioritize a move for Amrabat.
The Red Devils are focusing their efforts on acquiring Uruguayan midfielder Manuel Ugarte from Paris Saint-Germain.
Nevertheless, United is still considering the possibility of re-signing Amrabat, albeit under different terms. Amrabat’s strong finish to the season has provided some optimism for United manager Erik ten Hag and his coaching staff.
Fiorentina, on the other hand, is reportedly not interested in another loan arrangement.
The club is holding out for a full transfer, with a price tag of approximately 30 million euros set for the Moroccan midfielder.
As the transfer window draws to a close, the situation surrounding Amrabat is expected to remain dynamic, with potential developments in the final days.
The coming days will be crucial for Amrabat as he navigates the final stages of the transfer window.
The outcome will likely hinge on the negotiations between Fiorentina, potential buyers, and Amrabat himself.
As the market evolves, all eyes will be on whether Amrabat will remain with Fiorentina or secure a move to one of his preferred destinations.
