According to a report from the Manchester Evening News last month, Manchester United have two midfielders on their radar this summer in the form of Sofyan Amrabat and Romeo Lavia.
It was added that Fiorentina star Amrabat is currently considered the more realistic of the two options.
Amrabat starred at the 2022 World Cup as Morocco defied expectations to reach the semi-finals.
He also played a key role in Fiorentina reaching the final of the Europa Conference League at the end of last season – which they lost to West Ham – and he has featured a total of 107 times for the Serie A outfit.
Now, the player himself has provided an update on his future.
Speaking after a pre-season friendly with Grosseto on Tuesday, Amrabat said about his future via Romano: “I don’t know if I’m leaving… maybe I can stay here at Fiorentina”.
