Sofyan Amrabat is considered a possible and strong alternative at FC Bayern if the desired transfer from Declan Rice (West Ham United) cannot be realized. But Munich have great competition in courting the Moroccan, who drew so much attention to himself at the World Cup in Qatar.
After the overall disappointing 2022/23 season, FC Bayern wants to upgrade for the coming season. Declan Rice, who is considered the dream player of head coach Thomas Tuchel, has been traded in the defensive midfield position for a long time. But Rice is said to cost a three-digit million sum and is also toying with staying in the Premier League. That’s why the eyes of the Munich team were also towards Florence, where Sofyan Amrabat made convincing appearances.
The six, who sensationally reached the semifinals with Morocco at the World Cup in Qatar, could probably be had for a quarter of Rice’s fee. According to various media reports, 25 to 30 million euros are due for the 26-year-old, whose contract with AC Fiorentina runs until 2024. So do the people of Munich just open the box?
It won’t be that easy for the FCB bosses: As “fussballtransfers.com” reports, FC Barcelona is serious about wooing the coveted midfielder, who lost to Bayern-Flirt Rice in the final of the Conference League during the week (1 :2).
Amrabat traded at numerous clubs
According to the portal, Barca coach Xavi has already had initial talks with the World Cup star and told him his plans for the upcoming season. Amrabat could inherit from club icon Sergio Busquets at the Spanish champions, it is said.
But FC Barcelona is not the only club that could annoy Munich in poker. Manchester United, Tottenham Hotspur and Atlético Madrid are also said to have put out feelers for the 26-year-old, who is regarded as a resolute sweeper in defensive midfield and has impressed with very good tackle values and pass rates in recent months.
But how hot is Munich’s advertising for Amrabat really? According to “Sky”, the Moroccan was even actively offered to FC Bayern. The profile of the six is also said to have been well received.
But: With the German record champions, there are also voices that doubt whether Amrabat would advance FCB in sporting terms. The topic is therefore currently not hot.
Bayern legend Lothar Matthäus, on the other hand, had recently campaigned for a transfer of the 26-year-old!
