Manchester United has successfully completed the signing of Fiorentina midfielder Sofyan Amrabat in a last-minute deal. This transfer arrangement comprises an initial loan period with an option for the Red Devils to make the deal permanent.
The acquisition of Amrabat comes at a substantial financial commitment. United is set to pay an initial loan fee of €10 million, with the possibility of an additional €5 million in add-ons. Should they choose to exercise the purchase option, it would require an expenditure exceeding €20 million.
Amrabat’s unwavering desire to join Manchester United has been evident since June, with the player turning down offers from multiple other clubs. His preference for Manchester United as his next destination has been resolute.
This loan arrangement was necessitated by Financial Fair Play (FFP) regulations, limiting United’s immediate financial flexibility.
Amrabat To United Is Now Complete:
According to well-regarded journalist David Ornstein, the Sofyan Amrabat deal has been finalized, with the player successfully completing his medical examinations in Italy. All contractual agreements have been formally sealed, marking the official transfer.
Significantly, Manchester United has committed to covering the entirety of Amrabat’s salary, indicating their intent to integrate him seamlessly into their squad. This substantial investment suggests a strong possibility of Amrabat’s stay at the club becoming permanent.
Erik ten Hag’s influence and Amrabat’s unwavering desire to play for Manchester United were pivotal in concluding this deal. Notably, Amrabat has prior experience working with the Dutch manager during their shared time at FC Utrecht.
As the transfer window neared its conclusion, Manchester United successfully secured Sofyan Amrabat’s signature, marking a significant addition to their squad for the upcoming season.
