Atletico Madrid Eyes Sofyan Amrabat for $43M Summer Transfer from Fiorentina

The Moroccan midfielder who plays for Fiorentina is becoming the priority of Atletico Madrid, who plans to recruit him next season in order to rebalance its squad. And the choice is focused on Sofyan Amrabat, a very physical player with huge potential. "Amrabat would be happy to make the jump from Serie A to La Liga. He is seduced by the red and white project and the style that Simeone is designing to initiate a new journey after three seasons at Fiorentina," specifies the Spanish media Marca.

But the task will not be easy for Atletico, which had deplored the player’s drop in form. It will also have to face some major resistance, such as the player’s market value, currently estimated at 40 million euros, Barcelona which "sees him as a perfect complement to Gavi and Pedri," the newspaper continues. Moreover, the player has already reached an agreement to join FC Barcelona next summer. Not to mention Chelsea, which narrowly missed the transfer of the Moroccan player.
