Sofyan Amrabat has reportedly turned down the chance to join David Moyes’s West Ham United in favour of a potential move to Erik ten Hag’s Manchester United.
According to Italian journalist Alfredo Pedulla on his website, Manchester United and West Ham United are interested in signing Sofyan Amrabat from Fiorentina in the summer transfer window.
There is interest in Amrabat from Saudi Arabia as well.
However, according to Pedulla, Amrabat has “said no to West Ham”.
The reporter has claimed that the Fiorentina star “does not intend to consider” proposals from Saud Arabia and “only wants Manchester United”.
Manchester United over West Ham United for Sofyan Amrabat
We are not surprised at all that Sofyan Amrabat has turned down a potential move to West Ham United because he wants to join Manchester United.
After all, Manchester United are arguably the biggest club in England and are a global brand.
The Red Devils finished in the top four of the Premier League table last season and will play in the UEFA Champions League this campaign.
Under manager Erik ten Hag. Manchester United are going places and will aim to win the Premier League title in the coming years.
Amrabat is 26 now.
The Morocco international midfielder has his best years ahead of him.
It would make sense for Amrabat to spend his peak at one of the biggest clubs in the world and win major trophies with them.
Although West Ham won the UEFA Europa Conference League last season and will play in the UEFA Europa League this campaign, they are not going to challenge for the Premier League title or even end up in the top four anytime soon.
Amrabat made 24 starts and five substitute appearances in Serie A for Fiorentina last season.
The midfielder gave one assist in those games.
