Juventus have been named one of the clubs seeking to sign Sofyan Amrabat after her impressive performances at the 2022 FIFA World Cup.
The midfielder has been in excellent form for Morocco as they became the first African country to reach the semi-finals of the competition.
He and several of his teammates were in the shape of their lives to help the African nation get to that stage, and their performances will set them apart from their current employers.
Juve were hoping they could add Amrabat to their Fiorentina squad as a replacement for the departing Adrien Rabiot.
However, a report on Tuttojuve reveals that La Viola is not interested in selling him, instead they will activate a one-year contract extension to keep him with them until 2025.
Juve FC says
Every club will want to keep any of their players who have had a great World Cup and Fiorentina are no different.
However, they will still sell it for the right price. Conversely, activating an extension only helps them demand a higher transfer fee when a suitor comes to sign you.
If we’re serious about adding him to our team, then we need to be prepared to spend big to get La Viola to listen to our offer, especially if other suitors are serious about it as well.
