Liverpool are apparently preparing to beat Chelsea to the signing of Sofyan Amrabat.
According to Lions de I’Atlas, Jurgen Klopp’s employers have a £39m bid for the Moroccan midfielder ready to be summoned when the time is right.
With January just around the corner, the Anfield chain of command do not have long to wait before they can make a move for the Fiorentina player.
This applies to Chelsea as well, who are also apparently attracted to the idea of acquiring Amrabat’s services.
Sofyan Amrabat admired by Liverpool
Both Premier League sides, and a handful of others, have evidently been impressed by the 26-year-old’s delivery on the global stage.
He was terrific at the World Cup and a major reason why Morocco made it to the semi-finals.
His tackling and tenacious work in the middle of the park earned great applause, receiving the title of ‘outstanding’ from Micah Richards.
Morocco may have finished fourth in Qatar, but they won the love and support of neutrals and those who’s nations were out of the tournament.
Their squad also received fandom and fame beyond what many would’ve imagined ahead of the competition.
Especially Amrabat, who has lived a relatively quiet footballing life up until this point.
Fiorentina’s midfield force is now a global name, and one that could be heading to England soon.
Chelsea and Liverpool might find themselves locked in a financial battle once the winter window opens for business.
