Liverpool steal march on Tottenham after opening talks to sign £22m star

 

Liverpool have reportedly opened negotiations to sign Tottenham Hotspur target and Fiorentina midfielder Sofyan Amrabat, as per the French outlet Footmercato.

The 26-year-old has been attracting a lot of interest from big European clubs after impressing for Morocco at last year’s Qatar World Cup. The midfielder was a mainstay of Walid Regregui’s team who finished fourth at the competition.

Amrabat was heavily linked with a move away from Fiorentina in January but a deal never materialised. However, a summer move could be on the cards as the African – valued at around £22m by Transfermarkt – has entered the final 16 months of his current contract and hasn’t signed an extension with Vincenzo Italiano’s side yet.
