Jose Mourinho Set to Rival Manchester United for Fiorentina Star Sofyan Amrabat
The transfer window is heating up, and Jose Mourinho is looking to make a statement with his next signing. The former Chelsea boss has already made some impressive moves in the market, bringing in Cenk Tosun and Allan Saint-Maximin to Fenerbahce. But it seems he’s not done yet, and could be set to go head-to-head with Manchester United for Fiorentina star Sofyan Amrabat.
According to Corriere dello Sport, Mourinho is already interested in bringing the Moroccan midfielder to Turkey, and Fenerbahce are confident of securing his signature. Amrabat has just one year remaining on his contract, and United rejected the opportunity to activate the clause to sign him permanently as they are believed to want to negotiate a different deal.
The 27-year-old made 29 appearances in all competitions last season, and his performances have caught the eye of both Mourinho and United boss Erik ten Hag. Amrabat has been a key player for Fiorentina, and his versatility and skill on the pitch make him an attractive option for both clubs.
Speaking after winning the FA Cup against Manchester City, Amrabat admitted he didn’t know what his future holds. "Do I already know what I’m going to do next year? No," he said. "We are going to talk. Staying is certainly an option. Look, I think it has been a very difficult season. For Manchester United, it needs to be much better, and also for me personally. We are going to talk. Manchester United are the biggest club in the world, so who wouldn’t want to play football here? But all parties have to be happy with each other, so we will sit down now and see what happens."
It’s clear that Amrabat is torn between his love for Manchester United and the uncertainty of his future. But with Mourinho and Fenerbahce making a strong push for his signature, it’s hard to see him staying at Fiorentina.
