The Moroccan international was one of the standout players in the 2022 World Cup.

Since the tournament Amrabat has been linked with Europe’s top clubs such as PSG, Athletico Madrid and Man Utd.

But they face competition from Al-Ahli, according to French newspaper L’Equipe.

The Saudi League team will look to strengthen their side even further and beat United to Amrabat’s signature.

This summer Al-Ahli have signed an impressive front three of Roberto Firmino, Riyad Mahrez and Allan Saint-Maximin.

Amrabat made a name for himself in world football after he seriously impressed at the World Cup.

Morocco knocked out Portugal and crushed Ronaldo’s World Cup dreams in the shock 1-0 defeat.

He was a key player in this victory and helped make history as the first-ever African nation to make it through to a World Cup semi-final.

Amrabat made 23 appearances for Fiorentina this season including the Europa League Conference Final where they narrowly missed out to West Ham for the trophy.
