Juventus win the battle for Amrabat

Juventus are close to signing Fiorentina midfielder Sofian Amrabat. "The old lady" is making serious progress in the negotiations for the Moroccan and the deal could become a fact at any moment, claims "Sport Mediaset". Thus, it seems that Turin will win the battle for this player.

Until recently, Amrabat was believed to be the closest to a move to Manchester United. In addition, his name was also linked with interest from Liverpool, Barcelona and Atletico Madrid. Juventus, however, appear to be the most persistent in their pursuit of the midfielder, who is expected to head to the Allianz Stadium.

The "Bianconeri" vote him as a replacement for Denis Zakaria, who is about to transfer to Monaco. The contract of the 26-year-old footballer expires in a year, and that is why Fiorentina knows that there is no way to keep him in their squad. "Violets" are ready to release him with an offer of around 35 million euros.

Amrabat shones during the World Cup in Qatar, where he played a key role in Morocco's midfield and helped the team reach the semi-finals. He also had a very strong season for Fiorentina, making 49 appearances in all competitions, helping the team to the Coppa Italia final and the Conference League.
