Fiorentina rejects Manchester United’s loan offer for chief target
Manchester United are in desperate mode now like every year as the transfer window reaches its final hours. They have left it too late to get the transfers done. The club’s PR team is showing as if they are having a successful transfer window. But, in reality, they are having a horrible transfer window. They couldn’t sell the players for the money they wanted. Recently, they also wanted to spin Man Utd transfer news about Bayern Munich wanting Scott McTominay. However, that story didn’t do well as the truth came out after some time. Now, their transfer window hit another low point when Fiorentina rejected the loan offer they sent for Amrabat.
What Manchester United Offered to Fiorentina for Amrabat?
As already mentioned by David Ornstein, Manchester United cannot sign Sofyan Amrabat on a permanent transfer because of the financial fair play rules. That is why they have to look for a loan for the Moroccan midfielder. And, he is the top midfield priority for Man United.

According to a Manchester United fan X handle, @utdreport, The Athletic is reporting that Manchester United’s offer to Fiorentina was for 2 instalments of £1m. Also, there was a break clause that would be effective from January before the second instalment. Fiorentina outright rejected this bid as it didn’t match their expectation.

What is Sofyan Amrabat’s Stance in this Situation?
Sofyan Amrabat wants to join Man Utd and that’s why he also stopped training with the first team and didn’t play the UEFA Champions League playoff game for Fiorentina. This is very important as he is pushing Fiorentina to accept the offer from Man United. He only wants Manchester United. He had offers from various other clubs from Europe but his sole focus is on United. He had several direct phone calls with Erik ten Hag and he is desperate to join him at United. So, there is no problem from the player’s side about joining Manchester United.
So, Man United fans, do you think Sofyan Amrabat will become a United player before the end of the transfer window? Let us in the comments!
