Transfer Talk: Man United start talks for Fiorentina's Amrabat

TOP STORY: United keeping tabs on Amrabat

Manchester United are closely monitoring Fiorentina midfielder Sofyan Amrabat, according to Florian Plettenberg.

There has been plenty of discussion around the 26-year-old’s future as his contract with La Viola ends in the summer of 2024, and that talk intensified after his impressive contributions to Morocco‘s historic World Cup campaign.

The Red Devils are now looking at Amrabat, who helped Fiorentina reach the Conference League and Coppa Italia finals this season, after already strengthening their midfield with the addition of Mason Mount from Chelsea.

Negotiations are not advanced at this stage, but Plettenberg said that talks have taken place and Man United remain interested.

This could become a hot topic for the Red Devils later in this window, likely due to the club largely focusing on bringing a goalkeeper to Old Trafford following David de Gea‘s departure after the culmination of his contract, while also looking for a striker.

Amrabat is also reported to be on the list of players Bundesliga giants Bayern Munich are monitoring, but there has been nothing concrete at this stage.

Like United, the Bavarians also have priorities elsewhere, and their search for a striker has been widely reported, with Tottenham Hotspur talisman Harry Kane the main player being discussed at this time, while Eintracht Frankfurt‘s Randal Kolo Muani has also been linked.
