Manchester United target Sofyan Amrabat ‘training alone’ as Fiorentina set deadline for transfer
Manchester United target Sofyan Amrabat is ‘training alone’ after being left out of Fiorentina’s squad for a Europa Conference League qualifier against Rapid Wien. The Morocco star has already agreed personal terms over a move to Old Trafford but United have yet to submit a bid for the midfielder.
That’s because of the club’s failure to offload the likes of Donny van de Beek and Scott McTominay. Having spent £170m this summer, United must balance the books if they’re to re-enter the market for Amrabat.
The club have so far recouped around £35m through the sales of Fred, Mateo Kovar and Anthony Elanga, as well as a string of smaller deals involving academy players. But they had budgeted for a net spend of around £120m this summer, meaning they must raise at least £15m more to comply with Financial Fair Play rules.
Amrabat Desperate to Join Manchester United
Amrabat worked under Erik ten Hag at Utrecht and he’s desperate to move to Old Trafford. Fiorentina are aware of his desire to do so, and he was not named in the side’s squad for tomorrow’s Europa Conference League qualifier against Rapid Wien. Fiorentina got to the final of the competition last season, when they were beaten by West Ham.
And CalcioMercato says the Moroccan is now training alone as he prepares to leave the club. However, it’s a ‘game of nerves’ as Fiorentina have set a deadline of Friday for his departure but Untied do not yet have the funds to sanction the transfer.
Manchester United Must Balance the Books
With Amrabat keen to join Manchester United, it’s now down to the club to balance their books and free up funds for the transfer. They have already recouped some money through sales this summer, but they must raise at least £15m more to comply with Financial Fair Play rules.
It remains to be seen if Manchester United can raise the funds in time, or if Fiorentina will extend their deadline. Either way, it looks like Amrabat’s future will be decided in the coming days.
