Agreement Reached: Manchester United set to announce imminent signing for just £19 million - medical date booked

Manchester United are set to land European highly rated midfielder for a cheaper price than previously expected.


Italian journalist Alfredo Pedulla reports Fiorentina could demand just 22-25 million Euros as the main fee.

This would set the price for Manchester United to pay at between £19 million and £21.5 million.

He reports Fiorentina would like it to get towards 30 million Euros with eventual add-ons, £25 million.

A report last night from Viola News reported Manchester United had been in touch with Sofyan Amrabat‘s representatives.

Pedulla backs this up, and adds that the midfielder has given his approval to the deal, reporting: “Amrabat said yes to the transfer.”

A deal is not yet ready to move forward however, because United have to sell players to create funds, with the remainder of the transfer budget apportioned to signing a striker.

This should not be a problem as Manchester United have multiple players available for transfer, but the market is slow going so far.

Fred for instance is a player United could cash in on, but the reported offers from Galatasaray have been low.

Amrabat offers midfield depth

There is no doubt Casemiro is the key man in Manchester United’s midfield, but the club lack cover for the Brazilian.

This was particularly apparent last season away at Arsenal when Casemiro was suspended. Scott McTominay filled in, and struggled.

Amrabat is capable stand-in for Casemiro, who could also play alongside him too in certain tactical situations, and help United become tougher to beat away from home.

At a price of £19 million rising to £25 million, a move for the Moroccan would be a bargain. The player is keen, he will just need to be patient with United.

Match Report Chelsea snatched a dramatic late victory against Fulham at Craven Cottage, scoring twice in the final six minutes to overturn a 1-0 deficit. Alex Iwobi had given the home side the lead in the 20th minute, but substitute Tyrique George equalized in the 84th minute before Pedro Neto struck the winner in the 93rd minute. Fulham started brightly and had an early goal disallowed for offside. They took the lead when Ryan Sessegnon dispossessed Reece James and set up Iwobi, who fired a low shot into the bottom corner. Chelsea struggled to create clear-cut chances in the first half and were booed off by their own fans at half-time. However, the introduction of Tyrique George and Jadon Sancho in the second half gave Chelsea more attacking impetus. George leveled the score with a well-taken first-time shot from the edge of the box. In the dying minutes, Enzo Fernandez cut the ball back to Neto, who swivelled and smashed a shot into the roof of the...

Chelsea's interest in signing Liam Delap from Ipswich Town is heating up, with the Blues considered favorites to land the striker. However, Manchester United is also in the mix, and Troy Deeney believes it's "nailed on" that Delap will join either of them. Delap's impressive performances, including 12 goals and 2 assists in 30 appearances, have caught the attention of several top clubs. Delap has a £40m release clause if Ipswich Town gets relegated, making him a more affordable option for Chelsea. Enzo Maresca and co-director recruit Joe Shields know Delap well, having worked with him at Manchester City, which might give Chelsea an edge in the transfer race. Manchester United, Manchester City, and Juventus are also interested in Delap, with City having a buy-back clause and a 20% sell-on fee in their initial deal to sell him to Ipswich. The striker is reportedly excited about joining Chelsea, but it's unclear if ...
