Sofyan Amrabat, the Moroccan midfielder who rose to global fame at the 2022 World Cup and became a key figure for Fenerbahçe last season, looks set to leave his club this summer. After a strong campaign with 33 matches and an essential role in the squad, Amrabat appears ready for a new challenge.
Turkish side Fenerbahçe holds a purchase option following Amrabat’s loan from Fiorentina and seems prepared to activate it. However, the club’s real aim reportedly isn’t to keep the midfielder. Turkish reports suggest Fenerbahçe’s strategy is to buy Amrabat and then resell him for a profit, notably to Al Ahli in Saudi Arabia, who are keen on his profile and willing to offer €25 million.
On the player’s side, his desire to leave the Turkish Süper Lig is becoming clearer. Sofyan Amrabat’s ambition is straightforward: he seeks a move to a more competitive league, potentially returning to Serie A or embarking on a fresh European challenge. Atalanta Bergamo, managed by Ivan Juric, is among the interested teams, while Fenerbahçe hopes to cash in on a major transfer.
This transfer saga epitomizes the intricacies of the modern football market: Fenerbahçe aims for financial gain, Saudi clubs are investing heavily, and Amrabat stands at the center of negotiations. In the coming weeks, his future should become clear, as the Moroccan international publicly expresses his desire for a new adventure.
