Juventus are reportedly rivalling Manchester United for the signature of Fiorentina midfielder Sofyan Amrabat.

The Morocco international's future is currently the subject of much speculation, with Man United thought to be the favourites to sign him during this summer's transfer window.

The 20-time English champions have now sold Fred to Fenerbahce, which could see them step up their interest in Amrabat in the near future, especially with Donny van de Beek and Scott McTominay also being linked with departures.

Amrabat is believed to be set on a move to Old Trafford despite the likes of Liverpool, Barcelona and Atletico Madrid being credited with an interest in his services.

However, according to Sport Mediaset, Juventus are now firmly in the race for his signature, with the Old Lady viewing him as the perfect replacement for Denis Zakaria, who is expected to join Monaco.

Fiorentina are reluctant to lose Amrabat, but the midfielder's contract is due to expire next summer, and it is widely believed that an offer in the region of £30m would be accepted.

The 26-year-old made the move to Fiorentina from Club Brugge in 2020, and he has represented his current side on 107 occasions in all competitions.

Amrabat was in impressive form for the Purples during the 2022-23 campaign, making 49 appearances in all competitions, helping them to reach the finals of the Europa Conference League and Coppa Italia.

Juventus will not be able to offer the midfielder European football this season, but Man United will be present in the group stage of the Champions League.

The 20-time English champions had reportedly been looking to finalise an exit for Fred before stepping up their pursuit of Amrabat, and an announcement on the former's move to Fenerbahce came on Friday night.

Mason Mount has been added to the midfield department this summer to join the likes of Casemiro, Christian Eriksen and Bruno Fernandes.

Kobbie Mainoo is also expected to be a regular for the Red Devils this season, although the teenager is absent in the early weeks of the campaign due to an ankle injury.

Man United are currently preparing for their 2023-24 Premier League opener, which comes against Wolverhampton Wanderers on Monday night, while Juventus will start their new Serie A season away to Udinese on August 20.
