Former Liverpool player Don Hutchison believes that if the Reds were to finalize a deal for Morocco star Sofyan Amrabat it would be “panic buying” on the club’s part.
The Fiorentina midfielder impressed his country at the World Cup and his performances have led to several clubs in Europe interested in signing the 26-year-old.
Although Jurgen Klopp’s side desperately need midfield reinforcements, Hutchison believes the FA Cup winners need to weigh their options and “get the right one”.
“They have to make sure they don’t panic. [in the transfer market]Hutchison told ESPN (via Express). “I have seen Amrabat at the World Cup. He had a brilliant World Cup for Morocco. He hasn’t been that good for Fiorentina for 18 months, so you can’t panic and look at these players and think ‘that’s the one I need’. Make sure you get the right one.”

Amrabat, who would be a much cheaper alternative to our main transfer target Jude Bellingham, has set his heart on a move to Atlético Madrid in what may be a coup for the Anfield side.
This has prompted the club to look elsewhere for fresh legs in the middle of the park with Gladbach’s Kouadio ‘Manu’ Kone and Nice’s Khephren Thuram linked with a move to Merseyside recently.
Many of our performances this term have only strengthened the calls for a new midfielder to be signed.
Fabinho hasn’t been at the level we know he’s capable of this season, while Jordan Henderson is showing signs of aging and Thiago Alcantara can’t do it all alone.
It is amazing how the club can strengthen the attacking department this month (an area in which we are already quite well equipped) with the signing of Cody Gakpo, but they have yet to replace Gini Wijnaldum since his departure for PSG in the summer of 2021. . .
We understand that Klopp and company will only sign the right player at the right price, but we can’t help but feel that the middle of the park has been our main downfall this season.
We’d like to believe that if we don’t sign a new midfielder this month it’s because we’re going to give it our all for Bellingham in the summer, but at the moment we’re not so sure.
