Liverpool are reportedly prepared to meet ACF Fiorentina’s asking price for the talented midfielder Sofyan Amrabat.
The Reds are keen on securing his services, joining Newcastle United who are also interested in the midfielder.
Liverpool want Amrabat
Journalist Giacomo Iacobellis reveals that Liverpool are willing to match the €30m (£25m) valuation, but there are some obstacles to overcome.
Amrabat has expressed a preference for a move to Spain, where Atletico Madrid and FC Barcelona have also shown interest.
The acquisition of Amrabat would address Jurgen Klopp’s need for midfield reinforcements, making him an ideal signing.
However, Liverpool might find themselves in a waiting game they can ill afford, as the Moroccan star is holding out for a move to La Liga.
The world cup factor
Following his standout performances in the 2022 FIFA World Cup, Amrabat’s reputation soared, and he has attracted attention from top clubs.
Liverpool now faces a crucial decision regarding the 26-year-old’s signing in light of these latest developments.
The Reds have indicated their willingness to meet Fiorentina’s demands, but with Amrabat’s desire to move to Spain, Liverpool must decide whether to wait or make a persuasive offer to entice the Serie A dynamo to England.
Recent reports link Liverpool with the Moroccan international, whose departure from Fiorentina appears likely this summer.
Fiorentina are already targeting Maxime Lopez as a potential replacement for Amrabat in the upcoming season.
Amrabat’s favors Spain
While Liverpool and Newcastle United have shown eagerness to secure Amrabat’s signature, Barcelona and Atletico Madrid, despite their interest, are unable to match the asking price. The player himself has made it clear that his preference is a move to Spain.
Fiorentina are working on resolving his future promptly. Amrabat’s outstanding performances as a holding midfielder in the FIFA World Cup have drawn praise, with some publications even hailing him as the tournament’s best midfielder.
Hurdles in path of Liverpool for signing Amrabat
Liverpool’s pursuit of Amrabat is not without challenges. The latest report indicates that the Moroccan still leans towards a move to Spain, having previously attempted to force a transfer to Barcelona.
Meanwhile, interested parties Barcelona and Atletico Madrid are reportedly waiting for the price to decrease.
Given the aging Jordan Henderson and injury-prone Thiago, the addition of a talented midfielder like Amrabat to Liverpool’s ranks would bolster their chances of challenging Manchester City for the title next season.
It is evident that Liverpool are actively searching for midfield reinforcements, and securing high-quality players like Amrabat would enhance their squad’s depth.
Jurgen Klopp is likely to prioritize further signings before the start of the season, as the club aims to compete at the highest level once again.
