Saudi Arabian club Al Ahli have entered the race to sign Manchester United target Sofyan Amrabat from Fiorentina.
The 26-year-old is in high demand after an excellent season for both club and country in which he helped lead the Florence-based outfit to the UEFA Conference League final last season and was a major part of the Moroccan side which reached the World Cup semi-final against all odds last winter.

It would be Amrabat’s preference to remain in Europe after the Red Devils joined Atletico Madrid in the race for the 26-year-old’s services earlier this week.
Fiorentina are believed to be holding out for a fee of around $35m for one of their most valued assets but any move from United will likely depend on the club receiving offers for Scott McTominay and Fred.
