The following year, Amrabat moved to Belgium with Club Brugge. In 2019, he signed for Italian club Hellas Verona on loan with an option-to-buy; the club eventually bought him in January 2020, sold him to Fiorentina, and loaned him back in for the remainder of the 2019–20 season.

Born in the Netherlands, Amrabat represented his birth country at youth international level in 2010 before switching allegiance to Morocco in 2013. He made his senior Morocco debut in 2017, and has since represented the country at two FIFA World Cups and one Africa Cup of Nations tournament.
