Sofiane Amrabat has emerged as a transfer target for Serie A side Atalanta, with manager Ivan Jurić reportedly keen on reuniting with the Moroccan midfielder during the upcoming summer window.
Reports indicate that Jurić, who recently assumed the reins at Atalanta, views Amrabat as a vital addition to bolster the club’s midfield.
The Croatian tactician previously coached the 28-year-old at Hellas Verona and is believed to be eager to work with him again in Bergamo.
“The interest shown by Ivan Jurić, who recently left Southampton, represents a lifeline for Amrabat. This season, the Moroccan experienced great difficulties and received harsh criticism during his time at Fenerbahçe,” a source close to the situation revealed.
Amrabat’s stint at Fenerbahçe has been a turbulent one, marked by inconsistent form and scrutiny from both media and supporters.
Despite these challenges, the Moroccan international has featured regularly for the Turkish giants, registering 43 appearances across all competitions.
He has contributed two goals and four assists while logging 3,244 minutes of action.
However, his disciplinary record has raised some eyebrows, with 13 yellow cards picked up during the campaign.
Atalanta’s potential move for Amrabat comes as the club prepares for a Champions League campaign following a strong domestic season.
Jurić is understood to be prioritising experienced, combative midfielders, and Amrabat—who brings a blend of technical discipline and physicality—fits that profile.
Amrabat’s current market value is estimated at €20 million, according to Transfermarkt, a fee that could make him a viable target for the Bergamo outfit.
The Moroccan’s future now hinges on whether Atalanta formalise their interest with an offer.
Having endured a challenging season in Turkey, a return to Italy—where Amrabat previously enjoyed his most consistent performances—may offer the midfielder a chance to rediscover his best form under a familiar coach.
With the transfer window approaching, all eyes will be on how negotiations unfold, and whether Amrabat opts for a fresh start in Serie A as he seeks to reignite his career at the highest level.
