Fabrizio Romano provides update on Man Utd's bid to sign Sofyan Amrabat

Fabrizio Romano has provided an update on Manchester United's bid to sign Sofyan Amrabat this summer.

The Red Devils have already added Mason Mount, Andre Onana and Rasmus Hojlund to their ranks this summer, but Erik ten Hag isn't finished there.

The Dutchman is thought to want another midfielder and Fiorentina's Amrabat has emerged as the club's priority target, with the pair having worked together previously at Utrecht.

Meanwhile, the Serie A club added fuel to speculation when they left him out of their squad list for last weekend's pre-season friendlies.

According to the Manchester Evening News, Fiorentina are keen to recoup £30 million for the Morocco international, but United are standing firm in their £21m valuation.

However, transfer expert Romano has insisted that Amrabat's arrival hinges on the departures of current players at the club, but confirmed talks are taking place between United and the 26-year-old.

Speaking on his YouTube channel on Tuesday, Romano explained: "Talks are taking place between Amrabat and Man United.

"The player wants to move but it's crucial to understand that to enter important stages of the deal a bid is needed, a conversation is needed between clubs. This will happen when Man united complete some of the outgoings.

"Man United today and in the next days will be busy with many deals. Harry Maguire and Scott McTominay with West Ham. The opening bid was rejected but Man United and West Ham remain in contact for Maguire and McTominay.

"Fred will leave Manchester United this summer, he will 100% leave the club, then Donny van de Beek. Still no agreement between United and Real Sociedad, but clubs are speaking because the player is keen on am move."

In addition, the Daily Mail report that forgotten centre-back Eric Bailly could also be sold to Saudi Arabia to help supply United with the necessary funds to complete a deal for Amrabat.
