Man Utd and Liverpool target ‘has 72 hours to decide on move’ as transfer deadline edges closer
SOFYAN AMRABAT reportedly has up to 72 hours to decide on his future.
The Fiorentina midfielder has been linked with a host of clubs this season after an impressive Serie A and World Cup campaign.
Amrabat, 27, is a top target for Manchester United and Liverpool and also has interest from Atletico Madrid.
The Red Devils are keen on the Moroccan as manager Erik ten Hag wants to bolster his defensive midfield options.
While Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp is still short in the middle of the park after allowing six midfielders to leave the club this summer.
The Reds have signed three including Alexis Mac Allister, Dominik Szoboszlai and Wataru Endo, but could still do with another one.

But according to Corriere dello Sport, the clubs will have to convince Amrabat to make his move quickly.
The report claims that Fiorentina want a decision by Amrabat made by Friday.
This is so that if he decides to leave La Viola can have time to find a replacement rather than end up in a last-minute panic trying to sign a new player.
The Serie A side have set a £25.5million asking price for Amrabat.

Fiorentina director Daniele Prade has recently hinted that United are unable to bid for Amrabat despite his desire to leave Italy for a bigger club.
Speaking to the club's official YouTube channel, he said: "The situation is clear, he wants to join a top club and we want to satisfy him.
"But if we receive no offers, he will stay with us.
"We don't have a player like him in the team."
However, United have been linked with a move to Everton's Amaduo Onana as a potential alternative to the Moroccan.
