The Fiorentina midfielder has received plenty of Premier League interest this summer.

Amrabat, 26, impressed for Morocco at last year’s World Cup in Qatar – putting himself on big clubs’ radars around Europe.

According to Italian outlet Corriere della Sera, Amrabat has decided to join Man United following talks between the Red Devils and his entourage.

They add that Amrabat snubbed interest from Liverpool, after the Reds made recent contact.

Fiorentina are demanding around £26million for their in-demand star.

But United chiefs are hoping to drive the price down.

Amrabat has just one year remaining on his contract, although La Viola are believed to possess an option to extend it by a further 12 months.

The move has been further delayed by United’s need to offload players before recruiting.

While Dean Henderson is also expected to move to the City Ground, having played for Forest on loan last term.

Amrabat could replace Fred in United’s midfield.

The Brazilian, who switched agents earlier this summer, is likely to leave Old Trafford this summer.

He has received interest from Fulham, while there are also believed to be potential suitors in Saudi Arabia.

Amrabat joined Fiorentina from Club Brugge in 2020.

He has gone on to play 107 times for La Viola, helping them to Coppa Italia and Europa Conference League finals last term.

The Moroccan ace has also excelled for his country, earning 49 caps and playing his part as they reached the World Cup semi-finals in Qatar.
