The agent of Sofyan Amrabat says that Fiorentina will listen to offers for his client this summer after rejecting a January approach from Manchester United.
The Reds enquired about loaning the Morocco World Cup star in the winter window but the Italian club refused to entertain an exit for the 26-year-old. Amrabat, a defensive midfield pivot, has played 39 times this season but is yet to score and assist.
However, his clean-up play for his country in Qatar was widely praised as he helped to guide them to the semi-finals, the first time an African nation had made the last four. United were forced to dip into the loan market in the new year after a £225m summer spend.

Erik ten Hag was quick to jump into action after learning Christian Eriksen was set to be sidelined until April with an ankle injury. United approached Fiorentina regarding Amrabat but ultimately landed on Marcel Sabitzer of Bayern Munich.
The Austrian has impressed since his temporary switch, which is due to expire at the end of the season although the club could try to sign him permanently this summer with United looking for a midfielder.
And if Ten Hag wishes to consider another pursuit of Amrabat, the player’s agent has just handed him some good news. "For now we don't have any offer for the summer, but now at least Fiorentina is willing to listen," Amrabat’s representative, Mohamed Sinouh, told Kora Plus.
"A promise they made when the president rejected all the offers in winter. We received many offers during the January transfer window, including one from Manchester United, but an agreement cannot be reached."
