Fiorentina have told Sofyan Amrabat to make a decision on his future by Friday, August 25, as per Corriere dello Sport cited by BBC Sport.
The Serie A club have set a strict ultimatum in order to avoid any late deals in the window – when his exit would leave them scrambling for a replacement around deadline day.
It comes amid interest from Manchester United, Liverpool and Atletico Madrid, though none of the clubs have gone as far as tabling a bid for the €30 million-rated 26-year-old, who is keen on leaving Italy this summer.
United have been active on the market for a midfielder as Erik ten Hag is adamant about adding another to his ranks to bolster his options in the centre of the park.
Mason Mount completed a £55m move from Chelsea but it was confirmed today that he has sustained an injury and will be sidelined until mid-September – only further highlighting the club’s need for reinforcements.
United must sell to raise funds
However, any arrivals for the Red Devils at this stage of the window are entirely dependent on outgoings. Donny van de Beek and Dean Henderson are expected to depart in the coming weeks, but whether or not United will receive the funds soon enough to submit an offer for Amrabat remains to be seen.
