Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has held a meeting with FIFA World Cup star Sofyan Amrabat to discuss a potential move to the club, according to Foot Mercato,

The defensive midfielder is currently under contract with Fiorentina until 2024. However, his impressive performances at the 2022 World Cup in Qatar have caught the attention of several teams, including Liverpool.

Reds boss Klopp is keen to strengthen his midfield in the second half of the ongoing campaign, and Amrabat could be the perfect addition to the team.

However, Amrabat reportedly wishes to join Atletico Madrid. The Moroccan international has been linked with the Spanish club for some time and would prefer a move to Madrid over Liverpool.

Despite Amrabat's preference for Atletico Madrid, the Reds will not give up easily and will continue to pursue the Morocco international. Amrabat's versatility and his ability to play in several positions make him an attractive option for the Anfield outfit.

Unlike Atletico, the Merseysiders have deep pockets to swing Amrabat's transfer in their favor.
