Fulham eyeing summer move for Sofyan Amrabat despite dismal Manchester United loan stint | OneFootball

Arguably, the single biggest disappointment for Manchester United this season has been the drop-off in form of last season’s talisman Casemiro.

The Brazilian was instrumental as the Red Devils ended their trophy drought and also qualified for the Champions League via a third-place league finish.

Things have been far more difficult in his sophomore season with the former Real Madrid superstar looking like he has lost more than a yard of pace.

Manager Erik ten Hag’s decision of playing a high-transition style does not suit the five-time Champions League winner, who has been made to work far too hard and he has struggled to track runners every game.

Amrabat has struggled at Old Trafford

Injuries have not helped either and this is exactly why the Dutchman opted to bring in Sofyan Amrabat on loan on deadline day from Fiorentina.

The pair had worked together during their time at FC Utrecht and the Moroccan had been on fire during the last World Cup and fans were excited to see how this partnership would unfold.

However, despite Casemiro’s poor form, the manager has hardly called upon the Morocco international, whose last Premier League start came in 2023.

The 27-year-old arrived on the back of having not had a proper pre-season while he does not look like the best fit for the pace of the English game.

United do have the option of making his loan move permanent but are unlikely to keep hold of Amrabat and a return to Fiorentina seems to be on the cards.

Despite such a lacklustre loan stint, the defensive midfielder is not short of suitors with Barcelona, Juventus among the clubs keeping tabs on him.

Recently, The Peoples Person relayed that fierce rivals Liverpool remain interested while now, Tutto Mercato Web have revealed Fulham also want the Moroccan.

The Cottagers are preparing an offer of €30 million which Fiorentina are ready to accept as they do not want the player back at the club.

“Sofyan Amrabat’s future could still lie in the Premier League. Not at Manchester United as the Red Devils have already made the decision not to buy the midfielder from Fiorentina.

“But there is another English club ready to make an offer to the Viola club. According to what was reported by Sportitalia, Fulham have targeted the Moroccan midfielder and are preparing the official €30 million proposal.”

With a bunch of clubs to choose from, the ball is firmly in Amrabat’s court. He will leave Old Trafford with a feeling of unfulfilled potential considering the frenzy his arrival had generated.
