The indefatigable Amrabat makes Morocco dream: when Tottenham and Turin were on him
A life as a halfback, 2.0 : Sofyan Amrabat is the modern reinterpretation of the role. He has " worked on his lungs ", he runs for two on the pitch. But he also knows how to set up, and is a point of reference for the whole team. Libra, balance . Both with the Morocco shirt and with that of Fiorentina . Amrabat is increasingly dominant.
A bet won by the Viola president Rocco Commisso , who has always chosen to keep him close, in the ups and downs. Even if there have been offers. In the summer of 2021, for example, the midfielder born in '96 was at the center of the transfer market. First the interests of Atalanta and Napoli - but never in detail, then concrete proposals. Above all, Espanyol and Turin , with even a hint of a conversation with Sampdoria .
The Fiorentina dg, Joe Barone , in Milan for the last days of the summer session, first met the Sampdoria ds, Faggiano , (in the photo above) with nothing done, then that of the grenade, Vagnati . And Toro's interest was so serious that Vagnati had also been caught in the company of the Amrabat agents (in the photo below). Figures and possibilities on the table: Juric was ready to put him at the center of the technical project, after having had him at Verona. But Fiorentina made a block.
"Amrabat stays here" . Clear diktat of the property, even six months later. This time Antonio Conte knocks on the door : he sees in the Moroccan player a perfect midfielder for his game system. He convinces himself: " I want him at Tottenham ".
The negotiation between Spurs and Fiorentina begins and almost ends, on the basis of a loan deal (with a possible right of redemption) . But there is a hitch: in the last hours of the winter transfer market, the Viola sell Erick Pulgar to Galatasaray and, consequently, cannot give the green light to Amrabat. "You stay here ". Move ... spot on, considering the exponential growth of the player.
12 months later, keep an eye on his name, which can once again move souls. But Fiorentina (in the words of ds Pradè), once again reiterates: "We have no intention of selling him".
