Fiorentina midfielder Sofyan Amrabat will cost Liverpool in excess of €30m (£26m), according to Sky Sports Germany journalist Florian Plettenberg.

The reporter claims that the Reds are one of a number of Premier League clubs who are scouting the Moroccan international, who is being lined up as a target by Jurgen Klopp’s side along with Jude Bellingham and Moises Caicedo:

News #Amrabat: Been told that many clubs from the Premier League observing him, especially #LFC (next to Bellingham & Caicedo). No negotiations now but he is open to leave #Fiorentina. Salary now around €3-4m + Boni. Price tag: More than €30m! Key player! @SkySportDE 🇲🇦 pic.twitter.com/1JlE0rHVEM

With Bellingham being pursued by the likes of Real Madrid, Manchester City and Chelsea, and Caicedo believed to be on Manchester United’s radar, it is wise to have a backup like Amrabat in place, just in case moves for those two players don’t come off.

The 26-year-old has spent the last two and a half seasons at Fiorentina, gradually building up his reputation in Italian football. He has further enhanced his standing in the game with his performances for Morocco at the World Cup. We shall have to wait and see how this transfer story unfolds.
