Fiorentina are not willing to let go of Moroccan midfielder Sofyan Amrabat who is attracting interest after shining at the World Cup.
Fiorentina director Joe Barone has delivered a verdict on the future of Moroccan midfielder Sofyan Amrabat, declaring that he is "not for sale."
The hands-off warning goes out to top European clubs who have been showing interest in signing Amrabat since the 26-year-old shone like a million stars at the World Cup.
Amrabat was a key part of the Morocco team that made history at the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar, becoming the first African team to reach the semi-finals.
Amrabat not for sale
Speaking before Fiorentina's game against Roma, Barone gave a stern verdict on two key players for La Viola who have been attracting interest and linked with moves this January window.
