Amrabat gained notoriety late last year after playing every minute in Qatar to help Morocco make history by reaching the World Cup semifinals, marking the first time an African team had ever done so.
The midfielder was largely regarded as one of the World Cup's breakout performers and has since piqued the curiosity of several prestigious European clubs.
Amrabat was connected to Chelsea and Liverpool in January, and more lately, Manchester United, Barcelona, and even Arsenal have been mentioned as potential destinations for him.
According to reports, the Catalan giants planned to replace Sergio Busquets, who is due to depart the club this summer after 15 years and more, with him.
As Erik ten Hag tries to bolster his midfield options this summer, it has been revealed that Manchester United is also interested in him because they regard him as a less expensive alternative to another target, Declan Rice.
Rice and Amrabat will square off in the Europa Conference League final on Wednesday against West Ham, and the outcome of their matchup is expected to depend heavily on it.
And in remarks made prior to that tantalizing match, the 26-year-old left the door open for a possible move to England.
The Premier League is undoubtedly one of the best leagues in the world, Amrabat stated.
It would be lovely to perform there one day, but I don't necessarily want to.
Of course, the intensity is really great in England, therefore I believe it would be suitable for me.
Following the World Cup, his brother Nordin, who played for Watford from 2016 to 2018 and is currently a midfielder for AEK Athens, increased interest in the player, claiming the best clubs in Europe had finally realized how talented he was.
In December, he told the Dutch newspaper De Telegraaf, "I am really, really, really proud of Sofyan."
"You have a lot going for you when you perform so well on such a stage—in three matches against nations like Croatia, Belgium, and Canada.
"I believe that the top clubs in Europe have finally awoken from their slumber." Sofyan was already in contact with Tottenham Hotspur in January 2022, but there was no agreement reached with Fiorentina on the transfer fee.
I believe that everyone who is interested will immediately line up.
Fiorentina, who finished ninth in Serie A and gave Inter Milan a tough time in the Coppa Italia final before losing 2-1, present multiple threats to the Hammers.
Kickoff for the match between the two clubs is set for 8 PM at Prague's Eden Arena, which is the home of Slavia Prague.
