Liverpool will reportedly have to pay big money if they want to sign Sofyan Amrabat this summer, with ACF Fiorentina looking to secure the best deal possible for the midfielder.
According to Fabrizio Romano, the Serie A side will not go easy when it comes to negotiating a transfer fee for the 26-year-old, with Liverpool one of the many sides chasing the Moroccan international as interest continues to mount for the Fiorentina star.
Praised by former Spain manager Luis Enrique as an ‘extraordinary’ player, Amrabat was famously one of the stars of the 2022 FIFA World Cup as the Atlas Lions made it all the way to the semi-finals. And transfer interest has remained high in the midfielder, particularly from Liverpool.
However, the Reds won’t be getting away with a bargain signing should Liverpool make an approach to Fiorentina for Amrabat, with this latest update seemingly confirming that a major offer will have to be placed if he Morocco star is to leave Tuscany.
Indeed, Amrabat would be a perfect replacement for Fabinho given how similar the two players are in many aspects of their game. However, with Fiorentina now threatening a high asking price, it might be in Liverpool’s best interests to move on from the Serie A midfielder this summer.
Liverpool shouldn’t be afraid to walk away from Amrabat
Amrabat moving to a major European club could finally come to a head this summer, yet for Liverpool, the Reds shouldn’t be afraid to walk away from a deal if Fiorentina’s demands wander into the realm of unrealistic or just plain ridiculous.
As we know, Liverpool will soon have money to spend when Fabinho’s move to Saudi Arabia is completed. And whilst Amrabat could be a realistic signing, the Anfield side should not be afraid to drop their interest in the Moroccan if the asking price is too high.
