Atletico Madrid have reached out to Fiorentina regarding the potential signing of Sofyan Amrabat, who is set to leave the Serie A club this summer. Transfer expert Matteo Moretto reports that the La Liga club is interested in the Moroccan international.
Diego Simeone aims to strengthen his midfield for the upcoming season and sees Amrabat as a valuable addition at a reasonable price. Atletico previously attempted to sign Amrabat last summer but ultimately lost out to Manchester United.
Amrabat spent last season on loan at Old Trafford, where he struggled for the majority of his 30 appearances. However, he found form towards the end of the season, playing a crucial role in Manchester United’s FA Cup final victory over Manchester City. Despite this, Manchester United chose not to activate the €20 million buy option in his loan deal, as reported by Fabrizio Romano.
This situation has created an opportunity for Atletico Madrid, who are now considering whether to proceed with the transfer.
Additionally, Amrabat has expressed a desire to return to Manchester United. According to TUTTOmercato, Fiorentina is keen to resolve his situation quickly and is open to discussing a paid loan or discounted transfer. While Manchester United has other midfield targets, Amrabat remains a viable fallback option for the club.
