Fiorentina are reluctant to sell Liverpool target Sofyan Amrabat in January, according to 90min.
Both the Reds and Tottenham are reported with interest in the 26-year-old ahead of the winter window.
Spurs have held a long-standing interest in the defensive midfielder, and with a standout campaign at the World Cup with Morocco, they continue to monitor his situation.
The Merseyside outfit are looking to challenge the north London club to his signature, as they hope to bolster their midfield options in January.
However, 90min claim that Fiorentina have knocked back all recent enquiries made. Instead, they are not planning to allow Amrabat leave in the winter window.
Whilst they were open to loan offers for the player this time last year, it is said that interested clubs will only find success with permanent offers in the future.
Fiorentina reluctant to sell Liverpool target Amrabat
Holding the fort down in the middle of the park, Amrabat played a crucial part as Morocco held Spain to a draw yesterday, advancing through to the quarter-finals on penalties.
The midfielder won all seven of the ground duels he attempted. Furthermore, he made four tackles, and contributed an incredibly important interception and clearance to keep his side in the game (via SofaScore).
Speaking to journalist Fabrizio Romano after the match, the player’s agent, Mohammed Sinouh, revealed that he had received a lot of phone calls over Amrabat, as has been ‘the best holding midfielder of the World Cup’.
Hailed by former England international and ITV pundit Joe Cole for his ‘outstanding’ performance, it’s no wonder the Italian club are reluctant to sanction a sale for their star player.
With January looking like an unrealistic possibility, Liverpool should start working on a deal for the summer.
