"Reminds you of Mascherano" - Journalist reacts as Liverpool eye January move for £40m star

 


Liverpool target Sofyan Amrabat ‘has got similarities’ to their former midfield star Javier Mascherano, journalist Pete O’Rourke has told GiveMeSport.

The 26-year-old has been linked with a move to Anfield following an outstanding World Cup with Morocco, although several other top sides are also said to be taking an interest in the Fiorentina ace.

Liverpool transfer news – Amrabat

Italian outlet La Repubblica have claimed that Liverpool, Premier League rivals Tottenham Hotspur, and Ligue 1 giants Paris Saint-Germain are all in the running for Amrabat’s signature.

It’s believed that Fiorentina have placed a €45 million (£40m) price tag on their prized asset, who only has 18 months left on his current contract, although La Viola do have the option to extend his stay by a further year.

Liverpool have already brought in left-winger Cody Gakpo from PSV Eindhoven this January but have also been credited with an interest in several central midfielders.

O’Rourke disclosed that he reckons Amrabat has resemblances to Mascherano, who made 139 appearances for Liverpool between January 20007 and the summer of 2010.

In an interview with GMS, he said: “He has got similarities to Mascherano, obviously with his energy and tenacity in midfield.

“He likes to make a tackle and get involved in things, so it reminds you of Mascherano in that respect.”

Liverpool set to make official move for 24-year-old midfielder valued at£39.8m

  Liverpool have reportedly reignited their interest in Matheus Nunes and are weighing up a £44m swoop for the Wolverhampton Wanderers midfielder. The Portugal international was heavily linked with a move to Anfield during the summer transfer window, but Jurgen Klopp’s side decided against spending big on a new lynchpin. Still determined to test himself in the Premier League, Nunes became the latest Portuguese player to arrive at Wolves, who paid €45m (£39.8m) to bring the 24-year-old to the club from Sporting Lisbon. Nunes has one assist to show from 14 Premier League games for Julen Lopetegui’s side, and he is under contract at Molineux until 2027 with an option to extend for an additional 12 months. However, Nunes’s efforts have not been able to prevent Wolves’ slide down the table, with Lopetegui’s men sat 19th in the rankings after taking just 13 points from 17 games. Should Wolves drop back down to the Championship, Nunes would not be e...

(Video) Thiago’s three brilliant defensive challenges that demonstrate his Anfield dominance

  Thiago Alcantara had yet another brilliant display for Liverpool and it wasn’t just his usual passing and attacking prowess that was on show but his tackling and defensive abilities too. One video has been created to show three instances when our No.6 won the ball back inside his own half and they were all done with the usual style and class we are used to seeing from the Spain international. It wasn’t the best display from Jurgen Klopp’s squad but the 31-year-old could leave the pitch with his head held high, after helping the Reds secure all three points. Let’s hope his form continues and that we can extend our run of four successive victories in the Premier League. He is immense pic.twitter.com/KdobOK8Feh — - (@PassLikeThiago) December 31, 2022

Bayern Munich eyeing up another Liverpool star – Likely far cheaper than Mané deal

Image
 With a few clubs, including Manchester United, reportedly interested in Eric Choupo-Moting, currently at Bayern Munich, the Bavarian side are preparing for the worst. Having already lost Robert Lewandowski in the summer, the Bundesliga giants have had to rely on the Cameroon international more often than not, but his contract expires in the summer. This has made him attractive for many clubs in January, which is why Bayern Munich are looking at Liverpool for a potential replacement. This is because the Reds have a player in a similar situation as Choupo-Moting in Roberto Firmino, whose contract at Anfield expires in the summer. There have been reports the Brazilian wouldn’t mind extending at Liverpool, but he will take his time to evaluate what his future can bring him. Media Foot in France suggest that could include a transfer back to Germany, where he initially made a name for himself at Hoffenheim. The outlet explain the Liverpool forward ‘is among the profiles studied’ by...
