LAGOS, Nigeria (VOICE OF NAIJA)-Sofyan Amrabat has allegedly gave Manchester United the go-ahead for a transfer, and the Red Devils will shortly make a formal offer to Fiorentina.
The international player from Morocco is eager to finalize his projected transfer to Old Trafford, according to Fabrizio Romano.
He is rumored to have declined offers from Saudi Arabian teams, particularly Al-Ahli, since he has his sights set on a fresh challenge with the Premier League’s heavyweights.

United has not yet made a formal offer to Fiorentina for Amrabat. They won’t send it until either Fred or Donny van de Beek have left the club, though.
While Fulham and Jose Mourinho’s AS Roma have expressed interest in Fred, Spanish club Real Sociedad is rumored to be considering a loan transfer for Dutch midfielder Van de Beek.
For Amrabat, Fiorentina may ask for about £30 million ($39m). This was the estimate put forward earlier in July when the 26-year-old first expressed his intention to quit the Italian club.
Prior to their August 14 match against Wolves in the Premier League, Man United hopes to complete the acquisition of Amrabat.
