Sofyan Amrabat's time at Manchester United was not one to remember. However, his fortunes may be changing as Everton and Fenerbahce have both expressed interest in signing the Fiorentina midfielder. Talks are currently underway, with the Turkish club appearing to be in a more advanced stage of negotiations.
Last season, the 28-year-old was loaned to Manchester United after a lengthy transfer saga. Although he made 21 appearances in the Premier League, only 10 of those were as a starter. Despite this, he ended his time with the Red Devils on a high note, playing the full 90 minutes in their FA Cup final victory against Manchester City at Wembley.
Amrabat has since returned to Fiorentina and has made two appearances in Serie A this season. However, it seems another exit is on the horizon. According to reliable source Fabrizio Romano, Everton have made an approach for the midfielder. Fenerbahce, on the other hand, have already offered a €2m loan fee with a mandatory buy clause of €12m. Negotiations are ongoing as Fiorentina are not satisfied with these numbers.
Interestingly, there were also rumors of Manchester United trying to bring Amrabat back to the club this season to strengthen their midfield. However, they have now secured the signing of Manuel Ugarte from Paris Saint-Germain for a whopping £52m. Although the deal has been finalized, the club is yet to make an official announcement.
Meanwhile, Everton are desperate to make some late additions to their squad before the transfer window closes on Friday. The Toffees have had a disastrous start to their Premier League campaign, suffering a 3-0 defeat to Brighton and a 4-0 loss to Tottenham. They currently sit at the bottom of the table.
In addition to Amrabat, Romano also reports that Everton have made a move for Lyon's former Nottingham Forest midfielder, Oriol Mangala. It remains to be seen if the club will be able to secure these signings before the transfer deadline.
Overall, it seems Amrabat's future is still uncertain as both Everton and Fenerbahce vie for his signature. As for Manchester United, they have finally filled the gap in their squad with the signing of Ugarte. And for Everton, they are hoping to turn their fortunes around with some late additions to their squad.
