Fabrizio Romano has revealed that Emmanuel Macron told Liverpool target Sofyan Amrabat that he had been “the best midfielder in the tournament” after France beat Morocco 2-0 in the World Cup semi-final last night.
The French president will be delighted with the outcome of his country reaching back-to-back World Cup finals, but he made sure the 26-year-old Fiorentina star got the praise he deserved.
His performances for The Atlas Lions in Qatar have been nothing short of remarkable and Jurgen Klopp’s team are believed to be huge fans of the talented midfielder, along with the likes of Spurs and Inter Milan.

It has also been reported that Amrabat’s agent has already had “positive” talks with our German tactician and the ex-Feyenoord man is looking increasingly likely to make a move.
Superb for Didier Deschamps’ side during the game, Liverpool star Ibrahima Konate sent a classy message to the Moroccans after last night’s game and it is fair to say that the Africans have been the surprise package in the Middle East.
France will face Argentina in the final on Sunday, while Morocco will face Croatia in the match for third place on Saturday.
