Manchester United has to decide on the prospect of signing the central midfielder at £13m-£17m.

Last season, Manchester United announced the entry of a new midfielder by signing Sofyan Amrabat on loan. The Moroccan player came from Serie A Club Fiorentina last term and the Red Devils still have an option to make his move permanent.

According to La Gazzetta Dello Sport, United paid a fee of 10 million euros to get Amrabat on loan last year.

And now it looks like the 27-year-old is already missing Old Trafford. The latter is ready to secure a move to Old Trafford.

However, the move might take some time. As per Gazzetta, United has plenty of time until the 21st of July to permanently sign Amrabat. So, firstly the Ter Hagen side will contemplate all the factors we believe.

Therefore, although Amrabat returned from his national duty in Euros, he is yet to be rung by his Serie A club Fiorentina for training. Further, he is probably not going to get the call until July 21 as both the clubs will be in talks.

According to Gazzetta, the Italian club might demand a transfer fee of around £13m-£17m. The question is whether United is willing to pay that much for the 27 years old.

Looking back at the Qatar World Cup in 2022, he was arguably the best player on field. And to be fair, Amrabat didn’t recieve that much chance to show his valor with United last term.

Casemiro was always the preffered defensive midfielder who undoubtedly underperformed. Meaning, the Morocon could only get a total of 10 game starts in the Premier League.

Nevertheless, in the last few encounters of Manchester United, the star player got to show his class. He played an impressive role of defensive midfielder during the FA cup final with Man City while Casemiro missed out.

WIth all that being said, should United eye a deal worth £13m-£17m to permanently sign Sofyan Amrabat? They are already in market looking for a new midfeild option and this could very well be it!
