Fiorentina have set a minimum price for Sofyan Amrabat, according to one journalist. Liverpool supposedly like the player.
Journalist Florian Plettenberg shared an update on Sofyan Amrabat yesterday evening. It came after the midfielder helped Morocco to a historic win over Spain at the World Cup.
Amrabat has been fantastic at the tournament so far and his performances are drawing attention from clubs. Plettenberg addressed that situation – and knows the minimum expectations from Fiorentina for any fee.
“News [re Amrabat]: Fantastic match! What a WC performance so far,” he wrote on Twitter. “Been told that [Ruud] Gullit & [Dick] Advocaat tried to convince him to play for the Netherlands years ago.
“But Amrabat, born in Huizen, decided to play for Morocco. Open to leave Fiorentina in winter. Expected price: More than €30m [£25m}.”

This is one that should affect Liverpool as Plettenberg believes the Reds are an interested party. We certainly imagine they will be after how well he played against Spain.
And so Amrabat is one to look out for in January. Liverpool may feel a need to sign a midfielder, especially after the failed Arthur Melo gamble.
The Moroccan could be ideal, then. He’d reportedly be available, his price isn’t too high and Amrabat would be moving while in fantastic form. Jurgen Klopp would want that in his midfield.
The problem is Jude Bellingham. Liverpool want the player above all and won’t do anything that jeopardises their chances. Shelling out £25m+ on a midfielder might be seen as too risky at this stage.
Reportedly, the Reds only signed Arthur on loan because they didn’t want to make any commitments to other midfielders right now. Bellingham was the reason for that.
And so it’s difficult to believe they’d move for Amrabat so quickly. A poor return to club football next month, though, and perhaps Liverpool are crying out for the player.
