Sofyan Amrabat, the highly sought-after Fiorentina midfielder, has been given a tight deadline of 72 hours to make a decision about his future. The 27-year-old has caught the attention of several clubs, including Premier League giants Manchester United and Liverpool, as well as Atletico Madrid.
United and Liverpool eager to secure Amrabat
Both Manchester United and Liverpool are keen on acquiring Amrabat's services. United manager Erik ten Hag is particularly interested in bolstering his defensive midfield options, with Amrabat being a top target. Meanwhile, Jurgen Klopp's Liverpool squad is still short in the middle of the park after allowing six midfielders to leave the club this summer. They have made three signings so far, but could use another midfielder in their ranks.
Decision needed by Friday
According to reports from Corriere dello Sport, Amrabat has until Friday to make his decision. Fiorentina, his current club, want a prompt response so that they can have enough time to find a suitable replacement if he chooses to leave. This prevents them from being caught in a last-minute scramble to sign a new player. The Serie A side has set an asking price of £25.5 million for the Moroccan midfielder.
United's alternative option
Fiorentina's director, Daniele Prade, has hinted that Manchester United may not be able to make a bid for Amrabat, despite the player's desire to join a bigger club. In a recent interview with the club's official YouTube channel, Prade stated that if no offers are received, Amrabat will stay with Fiorentina. This has led to speculation that United may be considering Everton's Amaduo Onana as an alternative option.
