Man Utd agree Amrabat deal

Manchester United have agreed a deal with Fiorentina for the signing of midfielder Sofyan Amrabat.

United will pay €10m (£8.5m) to take Amrabat on loan with an option to buy the player for €25m (£21.4m).

Fiorentina had preferred a permanent deal while United are conscious of complying with Financial Fair Play rules.

United’s director of football negotiations Matt Hargreaves flew to Italy to complete the deal.

It is clear Amrabat wants to move to United and the 27-year-old has not been training with the Fiorentina first-team squad while his future remained unresolved.

Amrabat was not part of Fiorentina’s squad for Thursday’s Europa Conference League play-off second leg against Rapid Vienna amid speculation over his future.
