The 26-year-old caught the attention of these top European clubs after his impressive performances for Morocco during the 2022 World Cup, where they became the first African team to reach the semi-finals. However, despite the offers made by these clubs, Fiorentina refused to let Amrabat leave.

Nordin Amrabat revealed that Manchester United arrived with an offer in the final two days of the transfer window, but it was a loan with an option to buy, which Fiorentina declined. Barcelona was also interested in the midfielder, but their financial problems prevented them from making an obligation to buy. The third club interested in Amrabat was Chelsea. Although Barcelona was prepared to pay a significant amount for the midfielder, Fiorentina was not willing to let go of one of their most important players.
