Fiorentina midfielder Sofyan Amrabat is reportedly trying to force a transfer ahead of the 2024/25 football campaign after spending last season on loan at Manchester United.

During a period in which Amrabat was one of the most sought-after midfielders in Europe, the Moroccan star joined the Red Devils on-loan for the 2023/24 season.

While Amrabat played a starring role in his nation’s run toward the semi-final of the 2022 FIFA World Cup, the 27-year-old battled to make a lasting impression at Old Trafford.

Now though, according to Manchester Evening News, Amrabat is not training with Fiorentina, which is deemed to be an effort to secure a move away from the club in the current transfer window.

Currently absent from Fiorentina’s training facilities, Amrabat did not feature in Fiorentina’s 5-2 victory over their youth team in a pre-season warm-up encounter on Sunday.

It remains to be seen what the future holds for Amrabat while United are said to be in the running to sign the African star on a permanent basis.
