Speaking exclusively to Empire of the Kop, Foot Mercato’s Anas Bakhkhar has confirmed that Liverpool are ready to hold talks for a second time with Amrabat after positive discussions the first time around.
After an impressive World Cup, many clubs will be keeping an eye on the Fiorentina midfielder and Amrabat has now addressed rumors linking him with a move away from the Italian club.

“I am proud to be linked to big clubs like Barcelona and Atlético. But I am a Fiorentina player, I respect the club and I have a great relationship with the president,” Amrabat told 90min.
With Liverpool’s midfield aging a bit, a midfielder could be a priority in the January transfer window. Arthur Melo was loaned out over the summer, but injury has sidelined him for the entire season.
Amrabat has played a defensive midfielder role for Morocco during the World Cup, breaking through the game and playing progressively, a similar skill set to Fabinho.
When Fabinho is not playing, Liverpool are significantly worse off as he is the only natural holding midfielder at the club, so signing Amrabat to provide much-needed competition and cover would be a smart move.
