After completing his loan spell at Manchester United, Moroccan international Sofyan Amrabat has returned to Fiorentina but is now seeking new opportunities. According to reports from Foot Mercato, the 27-year-old midfielder has been offered to Atlético Madrid, a club currently in search of a defensive midfielder.
Amrabat’s potential move to Spain is gaining traction, particularly given the admiration that Atlético Madrid’s head coach, Diego Simeone, has previously expressed for the player.
“Last season, Diego Simeone did not hide his admiration for the Moroccan midfielder and even spoke with him.
The player was tempted by a transfer to La Liga but the Colchoneros, financially limited, were unable to match the Viola’s demands,” Foot Mercato reported.
Despite this interest, financial constraints have so far prevented Atlético Madrid from making a formal bid that would meet Fiorentina’s valuation of the player.
Amrabat, who is eager to explore new horizons, remains hopeful that a suitable offer will materialize, allowing him to fulfill his desire for a move to La Liga.
During his loan spell at Manchester United, Amrabat experienced a season marked by highs and lows.
He made a promising start but eventually found himself relegated to the bench.
However, his fortunes improved towards the end of the season, where he played a crucial role in helping the team secure the FA Cup.
The uncertainty surrounding Amrabat’s future continues, particularly as Fiorentina’s sporting director has confirmed that no formal offer has been received from Manchester United to make his move to Old Trafford permanent.
Amrabat’s record of 30 appearances for the Red Devils across all competitions, coupled with his contribution to their FA Cup victory, has kept him in the spotlight as the summer transfer window unfolds.
As the transfer saga develops, all eyes are on Atlético Madrid to see if they can overcome their financial limitations and secure the services of the Moroccan midfielder.
For Amrabat, a move to Spain would represent the next chapter in a career that has already seen him play in the Netherlands, Italy, and England.
With the summer transfer window still open, Amrabat’s situation remains fluid.
His future may hinge on whether Atlético Madrid can muster the necessary resources to bring him to La Liga, a league that would offer him the chance to further showcase his talents on one of Europe’s biggest stages.
