Liverpool have been linked with Moroccan international and Fiorentina killjoy Sofyan Amrabat and the latest news is intriguing.
According to the current version of the Corriere dello Sport (image of the news below), the Viola are already preparing for the departure of the African champion this summer.
The Rome-based media said Fiorentina are targeting the signing of Maxime Lopez to replace the 26-year-old defensive midfielder next season.
Amrabat is loved by Premier League sides such as Liverpool and Newcastle United and is also sought after in Spain by Atletico Madrid and champions Barcelona.
It should be remembered that, with the exception of the Reds, all of the above suitors can offer the player the Champions League next season. The CdS claim Fiorentina are demanding a £26m fee for their prized assets, but Barca and the Rojiblancos are unable to pay the price.
On the other hand, Liverpool and Newcastle have ‘raised their voices again’ that they are ready to ‘secure’ a deal worth £26million to complete the signing.
In response, Amrabat made it clear that he would prefer to move to Spain. The Serie A side are trying to clear up their future as soon as possible.
The Atlas Lions midfield star was undoubtedly the top scorer at the FIFA World Cup last year. We’ll see how the transfer saga unfolds and keep you updated.

Liverpool may have another deal hijacked as Man Utd and Chelsea ‘put in phone calls’
Liverpool’s transfer plans for Man Utd and Chelsea could be scuttled, according to reports.
Liverpool could expect a second transfer deal to be hijacked soon. Jurgen Klopp is keen to strengthen his midfield this summer but the Reds now face serious competition for targets Gabri Veiga and Nicolo Barella.
Reports from Spain suggest that Liverpool are no longer favorites to sign Celta Vigo’s famous star Veiga. Mauricio Pochettino has reportedly tasked Chelsea with covering Liverpool’s transfer for the Spaniard.
Veiga has a £34m release clause and would be a great signing for Liverpool. The 21-year-old scored 11 goals in a fantastic breakthrough season in La Liga
However, the Anfield side now appear to be missing another goal in midfield after Chelsea ran ahead in the battle for Veiga. That’s because they could now lose out on a deal for Inter Milan ace Barella if their rivals pique their interest.
According to Gazzetta dello Sport, Manchester United and Chelsea have both called Inter Milan over the Italian star.
They would be far more attractive destinations than fellow Newcastle pretenders due to their rich history. The report adds that Liverpool remain favorites to sign Barella. The 26-year-old would seem keen to work under Klopp, whom he has great admiration for.
Liverpool have already signed Alexis Mac Allister from Brighton and are expected to sign at least one more midfielder. Defensive reinforcements could also be brought in.
Klopp has insisted he wants to complete the bulk of Liverpool’s transfer deal by July 6, at the start of pre-season. The Reds have generally made all their signings in mid-July during Germany’s spell in charge.
“The better players you want, the less desire the other club has to let them go. And that’s exactly what we’re prepared for,” Klopp said on 28 May.
“But it’s a long haul and a long pre-season and a long break in between, so we have time whether we sign players tomorrow or in six or seven weeks. Not a game changer for me, to be honest.
“In an ideal world, they all sign tomorrow and I can tell them when they’re due and we can give them summer vacation plans, but that probably won’t happen.”
