  • Saudi club Al Ittihad has made a verbal offer of nearly 15 million Euros, including bonuses, for Amrabat.
  • Fenerbahçe is seeking 20 million Euros for the 29-year-old player, while negotiations continue with three clubs, one from Saudi Arabia and two from Europe.

Fenerbahçe is looking to reshape its squad for the new season, with midfielder Sofyan Amrabat among the players expected to leave. Coach İsmail Kartal does not envision a role for the Moroccan player in his plans.

Amrabat is reportedly awaiting an offer from Real Betis, where he played on loan last season. However, the Spanish club has not yet made a significant move, reportedly due to concerns about disrupting their salary structure.

Meanwhile, Saudi Arabian club Al Ittihad has entered the race, submitting a verbal offer to Fenerbahçe that approaches 15 million Euros with bonuses. Fenerbahçe, however, is holding out for 20 million Euros for the 29-year-old midfielder. So far, all official offers received by the club have been below 10 million Euros.

Discussions are ongoing with three clubs, one from Saudi Arabia and two from Europe, regarding a potential transfer for the Moroccan player.
