ALVISE CAGNAZZO: Sofyan Amrabat faces Declan Rice battle as Fiorentina eye Europa Conference League glory... with the Moroccan World Cup star hoping to shine amid Barcelona, Man United and Liverpool interest

Fiorentina are braced for a summer of interest in their most important player Sofyan Amrabat, after the midfielder starred at the World Cup in Qatar.

The Europa Conference League final against West Ham will be an opportunity to see Amrabat duel with Declan Rice. The match should see a battle of the box-to-box midfielders, who on average cover 12 kilometres per game to support their sides.

Compared to Rice, Amrabat has less leadership and attachment to his club but has established himself as an integral part of Fiorentina's side. While he rarely scores, Amrabat contributes greatly on the pitch.
