Real Betis signs former Manchester United midfielder Sofyan Amrabat on loan

Real Betis have confirmed the signing of Moroccan midfielder Sofyan Amrabat, who arrives on loan from Fenerbahçe until the end of the season. The 29-year-old, who had a brief spell at Manchester United, joins Manuel Pellegrini’s squad as one of the final reinforcements of the transfer window.

Betis Add Another Ex-United Player

Amrabat’s move comes just days after Betis also signed winger Antony, another former Manchester United player. The two arrivals highlight the Spanish club’s trend of recruiting players with Premier League experience.

Amrabat’s Career and Experience

The Moroccan midfielder first gained global recognition at the 2022 Qatar World Cup, where he played a central role in Morocco’s historic fourth-place finish.

His club career spans several European leagues, with spells at Feyenoord, Club Brugge, Hellas Verona, and Fiorentina, before his 2023/24 loan move to Manchester United.

Last season, Amrabat appeared 43 times for Fenerbahçe, showcasing his versatility as a defensive midfielder, deep-lying playmaker, or even as emergency cover in defense.

International Pedigree

Amrabat has earned over 50 caps for Morocco, cementing himself as a key figure in the national team setup. His leadership and international pedigree are expected to bring balance and experience to Betis’ midfield.

Betis’ Transfer Window Strategy

The addition of Amrabat and Antony marks the conclusion of Betis’ summer transfer window activity. Now, Pellegrini’s focus turns to integrating both signings as the team looks to compete strongly in La Liga and European competitions this season.
