Liverpool wants Moroccan Amrabat in the winter Mercato
Liverpool continues to seek to sign Moroccan midfielder Sofiane Amrabat, who is active in Italian club Fiorentina, according to Italian press reports.
Liverpool wants to solve the club’s midfield problems before the winter transfer window closes next February.
Amrabat’s name was associated with Liverpool following his brilliance with the Moroccan national team in the Qatar World Cup 2022, as he reached the World Cup semi-finals with the “Atlas Lions”.
The Italian Fiorentina refuses to dispense with the 26-year-old Amrabat contract before next summer.
