Club fears Manchester United midfielder is decreasing transfer value with lacklustre performances ahead of potential summer sale
Sofyan Amrabat’s parent club Fiorentina are concerned that he is lowering his transfer value during his underwhelming loan spell with Manchester United.
The midfielder completed a deadline-day switch to Old Trafford last summer as Erik ten Hag looked to strengthen his midfield depth on a low budget, proceeding to dip into the loan market to bolster his options after a high-spend window.
Amrabat arrived at United nursing an injury concern that consequently delayed his debut. When it eventually arrived, he was deployed out of position to cover for the side’s unavailable left-backs.
Unfortunately for the Moroccan, the emergence of teenage starlet Kobbie Mainoo, Ten Hag’s preference for Casemiro and Scott McTominay’s off-the-bench heroics have led to him having a reduced, rotational role this season. He has made 13 Premier League appearances, only seven of which were as a starter, and is frequently used to deputise for his sidelined teammates.
Yesterday’s Manchester derby defeat saw Amrabat come under fire for being sloppy in the build-up to Erling Haaland’s injury-time goal, which sealed a 3-1 loss for the Reds against cross-city rivals. The midfielder was dispossessed by Rodri, who quickly set up Haaland to fire home the final hammer blow.
As per the Daily Mail, Fiorentina are now beginning to fret that Amrabat’s value is plummeting. Reports have already suggested that United will opt against making his deal permanent, so it comes down to the Serie A outfit to make a decision on his future when he returns to Florence.
