Manchester United allegedly come to an agreement with Fiorentina over an initial loan deal for Morocco international Sofyan Amrabat.

Manchester United have reportedly come to an agreement with Fiorentina over a deal for Morocco international Sofyan Amrabat, with the midfielder now heading for Manchester.

There has been ongoing speculation surrounding the 27-year-old throughout the summer, but it is believed that Man United have always been in control of the situation.

According to transfer expert Fabrizio Romano, an agreement has now been reached between the two clubs, and Amrabat is heading for England to undergo a medical.

Romano claims that the move will be an initial loan for a €10m (£8.6m) fee, while there will be a purchase option worth €20m (£17.1m) plus €5m (£4.3m) add-ons during next summer's transfer window.

Discussions between the two clubs are thought to have intensified late last night and into this morning, and it appears that a deal is now close to being confirmed by both clubs.

Liverpool, Barcelona and Atletico Madrid are among the other clubs to be credited with an interest in the Moroccan, who played a leading role in his country reaching the semi-finals of the 2022 World Cup.

However, Amrabat has allegedly always been determined to hold out for a switch to Man United.

The former FC Utrecht youngster will leave Fiorentina having represented the Italian side on 107 occasions in all competitions, including 49 outings during the 2022-23 campaign.

Amrabat is yet to feature for the Italian club this season, though, due to the speculation surrounding his future.

When asked about the possible deal during Friday's pre-match press conference, Man United head coach Erik ten Hag told reporters: "I can't tell because I don't know. When we have news, we will tell you."

Amrabat will boost a midfield department which has lost Mason Mount to injury, but Scott McTominay is set to stay despite late interest from Fulham.

Altay Bayindir was confirmed as a new Man United player on Friday morning, and he is set to be in the squad for the clash with Arsenal on Sunday afternoon.

Ten Hag also said during his press conference that Sergio Reguilon had trained with the Red Devils, with his loan move from Tottenham Hotspur on the verge of being announced.
