“This is your new home, feel free to do as you wish”- Manchester United Legend Rio Ferdinand welcomes Man united transfer target and shows him around the Old Trafford stadium after he reportedly convince the star player to join Erik Ten Hag’s Manchester United

Manchester United’s transfer strategy is not solely focused on acquiring new talent, but also on reuniting with a familiar face, Sofyan Amrabat. The Moroccan midfielder, who impressed during the 2022 World Cup, spent last season on loan at Old Trafford. Although the Red Devils had a £16.8m buy-option, they opted not to trigger it, instead seeking to sign him for a lower fee.

According to Italian outlet La Gazzetta Dello Sport, Fiorentina is open to negotiating a reduced fee with Manchester United or other Premier League clubs that Amrabat is interested in joining. The 27-year-old’s preference is to remain in the English top flight, with Manchester United being his favored destination.

Amrabat’s willingness to stay at Old Trafford gives the Red Devils an advantage in negotiations with Fiorentina. Despite not being a regular starter last season, Amrabat demonstrated his value towards the end of the campaign, showcasing his versatility by filling in at left-back in the absence of Luke Shaw and Tyrell Malacia.

Signing Amrabat permanently would be a shrewd move for Manchester United, providing a low-cost option for the midfield while adding versatility to the squad. Erik ten Hag’s interest in retaining Amrabat’s services suggests he values the midfielder’s contributions.

The key now is for Manchester United to agree on a fee with Fiorentina, who are willing to sell. Securing Amrabat’s signature on favorable terms would be a significant coup for the Red Devils, allowing them to focus on other positions and strengthen their squad for the upcoming season.
