Manchester United is in a race against the clock to secure a deal for Fiorentina midfielder Sofyan Amrabat.
According to The Athletic, the club’s director of football negotiations, Matt Hargreaves, has travelled to Italy with the aim of finalising a loan agreement for the Moroccan international before the transfer deadline, which expires tonight.
Sofyan Amrabat, aged 27, has expressed his desire to make the move to Old Trafford.
However, negotiations between the two clubs have proven challenging. United’s initial €2 million loan offer was rejected, while Fiorentina is holding out for either a permanent transfer fee of €35 million or a loan deal with an obligation to make the transfer permanent.
Additionally, Manchester United has successfully completed a €5 million transfer for Turkish international goalkeeper Altay Bayindir from Fenerbahce and is currently in discussions with Tottenham regarding a potential loan deal for left-back Sergio Reguilón.
