Al Qadsiah Enter Race to Sign Sofyan Amrabat from Fenerbahçe
Saudi Pro League side Al Qadsiah have entered negotiations with Turkish club Fenerbahçe over the potential signing of Moroccan international Sofyan Amrabat, according to multiple reports.
According to Asharq Al-Awsat, citing Turkish outlet Fanatik via Moroccan media, Al Qadsiah have submitted an offer worth €20 million to sign the 29-year-old midfielder during the current summer transfer window.
The report states that Fenerbahçe are currently reviewing the proposal and have yet to make a final decision on Amrabat's future. The Turkish club is expected to assess both the financial value of the offer and the player's importance to the squad before responding.
Al Ittihad Also Monitoring the Situation
Reports also suggest that Al Ittihad are keeping a close eye on the situation and could enter the race with an offer similar to Al Qadsiah's if negotiations progress.
The growing interest from Saudi clubs reflects Amrabat's reputation as one of the region's most experienced defensive midfielders, following successful spells in Serie A, the Premier League, La Liga, and the Turkish Süper Lig.
Experienced Midfielder
Amrabat remains under contract with Fenerbahçe until June 2028. The Morocco international primarily operates as a defensive midfielder but is also capable of playing in central midfield and central defense.
He has earned more than 75 international caps for Morocco and was one of the standout performers during the 2022 FIFA World Cup, helping his country become the first African nation to reach the tournament's semifinals.
Transfer Status
While negotiations are reportedly underway, no agreement has been reached between Al Qadsiah and Fenerbahçe, and neither club has officially confirmed the discussions.
The coming days are expected to determine whether Al Qadsiah's reported offer is enough to convince the Turkish club to sanction the transfer.
