If reports in the media are anything to go by then the Merseysiders are now preparing a move to beat the Red Devils to the signing of Sofyan Amrabat.

There are contrasting stories going on in the Italian media with regards to the future of the Moroccan holding midfield star.

Last night, famous journalist, Alfredo Pedulla, revealed on his official website that despite interest from Liverpool, the 26-year-old star wants to go to Old Trafford.

The Fiorentina star has totally agreed a salary to join Erik ten Hag and his mind will only change if the Dutch manager opts to end the interest in luring him.

Even Fabrizio Romano claimed, on his Youtube channel, that the player has approved a move to the 20-time English champions.

However, as per a report covered by Corriere dello Sport today (press image provided below), the Anfield club have made contact with the player and are preparing a move to sign him before the closure of the summer transfer window.

Jurgen Klopp badly needs to improve the DM position, he wants Amrabat and has personally held discussions with him over a transfer.

After talks with the German manager, the Atlas Lions star is ready to agree a move to Liverpool, against the wishes of his entourage.

It must be remembered that this season, United can offer Champions League football to Amrabat on the other hand, the Anfield club will take part in the Europa League.

We shall see how the saga unfolds and will keep you up to date.
