Fiorentina have dismissed Manchester United's initial loan offer for Sofyan Amrabat because the club want a guaranteed permanent fee for the midfielder.
The Premier League giants have been admiring Amrabat for the majority of the summer but face the prospect of needing to sell members of Erik ten Hag's squad before bringing in more reinforcements.
A lack of departures means United are chasing alternative deal options with a proposed loan deal being made to Fiorentina for the Morocco international.
Recent developments saw United make a £1.7m loan offer for Amrabat that was quickly rejected by the Serie A side.
