No Man Utd return for Sofyan Amrabat! Fenerbahce win the battle to sign Fiorentina midfielder in deal totalling €18m

The Super Lig side have reached an agreement with Fiorentina that will see Amrabat head to Istanbul, Fabrizio Romano reports. Fenerbahce will pay a €2 million loan fee for Amrabat which will be followed by a mandatory €13m (£11m/$14m) fee to sign him outright at the end of the season, with Fiorentina possibly pocketing a further €3m in add-ons.

Amrabat spent last season on loan at Manchester United and went on to make 30 appearances in all competitions, though only 17 of those were from the start. There was talk of a possible return to Old Trafford this summer, but Erik ten Hag's team prioritised the £51m ($60m) signing of Manuel Ugarte from Paris Saint-Germain instead.

Amrabat's transfer to Fenerbahce will see him team up with former United coach Jose Mourinho as well as ex-Red Devils midfielder Fred. The Istanbul club are currently top of the Turkish top-flight with seven points from three matches.

The Turkish giants will look to continue their unbeaten start to the Super Lig campaign when they take on Alanyaspor on Friday. United, meanwhile, will hope to get Ugarte's signing over the line after seeing Scott McTominay leave for Napoli.
