Liverpool and Tottenham have been linked with a move for Moroccan international Sofyan Amrabat, who wants to join the Reds.
According to a report from Foot Mercato, Liverpool and Tottenham are looking to sign Sofyan Amrabat. And the 26-year-old midfielder, valued at €40 million by Fiorentina, is keen on moving to Anfield.
The Moroccan international has been linked with clubs like Tottenham Hotspur and Liverpool. But it seems that the Reds have an advantage in the chase. The 26-year-old is keen on moving to the Merseyside club, and it will be interesting to see if Liverpool can agree on a fee with the Italian club now.
Tottenham need to add more depth to their midfield unit. And the fact that the player wants to join Liverpool will come as a blow to them. Amrabat was exceptional for his country at the 2022 FIFA World Cup, helping Morocco reach the semi-finals of the competition.
He has been a key player for Fiorentina in the Italian league as well. There is no doubt that the player deserves to be playing at a higher level, and a move to Liverpool would be the ideal step up in his career right now. Recent reports have claimed that the Reds have scheduled a meeting with his entourage.
Liverpool are in desperate need of meat midfield reinforcements, as the likes of Naby Keita, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain and James Milner look set to leave the club as free agents in the summer.. Furthermore experienced players like Jordan Henderson and Fabinho have struggled to hit top form this season.
It is imperative that Jurgen Klopp improves his midfield department significantly over the next few months. And signing Amrabat would be a good start for Liverpool. The Reds are believed to be in the race to sign Jude Bellingham and Enzo Fernandez as well. Both transfers are likely to cost a lot of money, and it will be interesting to see if the Reds can pull it off.
Meanwhile, Amrabat is at the peak of his powers right now and could make an immediate impact at Anfield. His style of play is likely to suit Liverpool’s high-pressing system, and his relentless work ethic could be an instant hit at the Merseyside club. But it is unclear if the Reds are open to meeting his €40 million valuation.
Fiorentina will be hoping to hold on to their prized asset for as long as possible. But they could be powerless to stop him from leaving if Liverpool comes forward with a lucrative offer in the region of €40 million, and the player has his head turned. Meanwhile, Tottenham will unlikely throw in the towel so easily and should be in contention despite the player’s preference.
