Fiorentina is eagerly awaiting an improved offer from Manchester United for Sofyan Amrabat after rejecting the English club’s initial bid, according to reports. Amrabat, who had a remarkable season with both Fiorentina and the Moroccan national team, captured the attention of several top clubs, including Barcelona and Liverpool. However, Manchester United emerged as the frontrunners for the 26-year-old midfielder’s signature.
Gazzetta dello Sport, via Sport Witness, reported that United made an offer for Amrabat, but it was turned down by Fiorentina. The Serie A club, commonly known as La Viola, is now holding out for an improved proposal from the Red Devils.
Speculations about Amrabat’s potential transfer intensified after he was left out of Fiorentina’s squad for their upcoming match against Newcastle. This decision comes following his appearance in a friendly against Grosseto. Initially, Manchester United’s pursuit of the midfielder hinged on the potential departure of Scott McTominay. However, recent developments indicate that the Scottish midfielder is likely to stay, with concerns arising over Kobbie Mainoo’s potential two-month absence.
In a surprising twist, Everton has emerged as the leading candidate to sign Harry Maguire from Manchester United, as per reports. The 30-year-old defender’s future with the English club remains uncertain, particularly after losing the captain’s armband to Erik ten Hag. Maguire had limited playing time last season and currently finds himself as the fifth-choice center-back, with Luke Shaw preferred over him.
Although West Ham was previously considered the most likely destination for Maguire, the club has been reluctant to meet Manchester United’s valuation, which is believed to be around £30 million. Consequently, Goodison Park has emerged as a potential new home for the England international.
However, Everton’s financial situation raises doubts about their ability to afford Maguire. Years of mismanagement have had a detrimental impact on the club’s finances, potentially hindering their ability to secure the funds necessary for this transfer.
As the transfer window is in full swing, Manchester United has already made moves in the market. The club has secured the signings of Mason Mount and Andre Onana, with Rasmus Hojlund set to follow.

To sum it all up, Fiorentina is eagerly awaiting an improved offer from Manchester United for Sofyan Amrabat after rejecting their initial bid, while Everton has surprisingly emerged as the favorites to sign Harry Maguire. However, Everton’s financial situation calls into question their ability to afford the transfer.
