New Crisis for Sofyan Amrabat? – Media7
Sofyan Amrabat, once considered one of the key players of the Moroccan national team, is facing increased competition that threatens his position. After a remarkable performance at the 2022 World Cup in Qatar, where Morocco reached a historic fourth place, Amrabat’s level has recently declined, leaving the door open for new talents.
Young Moroccan players, including Amir Richardson and Osama El Azzouzi, have quickly established themselves as serious contenders for a place in the first team. Richardson, who recently moved to Fiorentina from Stade de Reims, has shone at the Paris 2024 Olympic Games with the Moroccan Olympic team. His convincing performances have made him a serious candidate to join the senior team, under coach Walid Regragui.
Meanwhile, Bologna defensive midfielder Osama El Azzouzi has also attracted attention with his rapid progress and appearances for the Moroccan national team. These young talents are putting additional pressure on Amrabat, whose once secure place now appears to be in danger.
Faced with this rise in youth, Amrabat, who spent last season on loan at Manchester United, must absolutely return to his best level to secure his place, both within his club, Fiorentina, and in the national team. The 2024-2025 season could well be decisive for the future of the Moroccan international.
As competition intensifies, the challenge facing Amrabat is daunting. Only a return to its optimal level will allow it to maintain its place among the Atlas Lions, facing a new generation ready to take over.
