Sofyan Amrabat has made it clear that either he joins Manchester United this summer or stays at Fiorentina.

That is according to La Nazione, who report that Amrabat does not want to join Fenerbahce and would only agree to leave Fiorentina in order to return to United.

Amrabat spent last season on loan at Man Utd, and Erik ten Hag is believed to be keen at bringing him back to Old Trafford again this term.

However, United face serious competition for Amrabat from Jose Mourinho’s Fenerbahce.

Fenerbahce have already reportedly had two bids rejected by Fiorentina, who are demanding more than the €12 million offered.

But La Nazione reports that Amrabat has no desire to move to Turkey.

In fact, the chances of him staying at Fiorentina have now increased with new manager Raffaele Palladino winning over the Moroccan.

La Nazione reports that only a concrete offer from Man Utd to bring Amrabat back to Old Trafford would convince him to leave Fiorentina.

Amrabat at Man Utd

Man Utd paid €9 million last summer to sign Amrabat on loan for the 2023-24 season from Fiorentina.

The Red Devils had the option to make the deal permanent for €25m at the end of the campaign.

However, United opted against activating that option as the 27-year-old disappointed for much of the season.

Amrabat has since returned to Fiorentina but his future is precarious.

United and Ten Hag do still like Amrabat and are interested in bringing him back at the right price.

Despite his struggles at Man Utd, he did have a strong last month to the season.

This culminated in an excellent performance in the FA Cup final win over Man City.

These performances have gained the attention of other Premier League clubs such as Crystal Palace and Fulham.

The Moroccan established himself as one of Europe’s most admired central midfielders at Fiorentina, with Barcelona and Chelsea also trying to sign him during the January transfer window of 2023.

Amrabat was also arguably the best midfielder at World Cup 2022, playing a crucial role for a Morocco team that stunned everyone in reaching the semi-finals.
