ASTON VILLA NOW COMPETING WITH MANCHESTER UNITED FOR £26M PLAYER
Aston Villa have become the latest English club to throw their hat in the ring to sign Fiorentina midfielder Sofyan Amrabat.
The 26-year-old midfielder has been linked with a host of Premier League sides, including Manchester United, and it now seems Aston Villa are keen to get involved in the race to sign Sofyan Amrabat.
According to a report from the Italian outlet Viola News, Villa alongside Tottenham and Manchester United are interested in the midfielder.
The report states that Villa have ‘tested the waters’ for the midfielder’s signature but it remains to be seen whether Emery’s side could be able to tempt the midfielder to Villa Park.
West Ham United reportedly ended their interest in the Moroccan due to the midfielder’s lack of willingness to make the move to East London, according to the Evening Standard.
The midfielder has just a year left on his contract, but Fiorentina have an option to extend the midfielder’s contract for a further year. According to the same report from Italy, Fiorentina value the midfielder at €30 million (£26 million).

Aston Villa have yet to make an offer for Sofyan Amrabat
Amrabat was previously linked to Barcelona in January, according to SPORT, but it seems the Premier League will be the midfielder’s next destination.
The midfielder was superb in the Europa Conference League final against West Ham and was unfortunate to not be on the winning side.
The midfielder was also superb in the World Cup in Qatar which has seemingly alerted a lot of high profile sides.
The Moroccan would be a superb addition to Emery’s Villa.
He could fit in alongside John McGinn and be the defensive steel that Villa will need going into Europe.
The report from Italy, however, states that no offers have been forthcoming so far from any of the Premier League sides that are reportedly interested in the midfielder’s services.
