Sofyan Amrabat, the Moroccan midfielder who shone for his country at the 2022 World Cup, has moved to Fenerbahce on loan from Fiorentina. The Istanbul club has secured an option to buy the 28-year-old, making him a potential permanent addition to their squad. Fiorentina, on their official website, clarified that the agreement includes an obligation to buy, meaning Amrabat will likely be a Fenerbahce player beyond this loan spell.
Amrabat spent the previous season on loan at Manchester United, making 30 appearances for the English giants. His move to Fenerbahce brings him under the guidance of Jose Mourinho, his former manager at Manchester United. This reunion adds an interesting dimension to the upcoming Europa League fixture where Fenerbahce will host the Red Devils. Amrabat has already featured twice for Fiorentina in European competition this season, playing in the UEFA Conference League. His most recent outing was a full 90 minutes on Thursday, where Fiorentina, despite finishing the extra-time period with just eight players, secured a penalty shootout victory.
