Jurgen Klopp held a private transfer meeting in an attempt to rectify a January signing, Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp met with the agent of Fiorentina midfielder and Moroccan international

The representative of Fiorentina midfielder Sofyan Amrabat was seen by Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp in an effort to sign the Moroccan international in the January transfer window

The holding midfielder is rumored to be open to leave the Italian club in order to fulfill his goal to play in the Champions League, and the Reds have already been linked to him. Klopp has made strengthening Liverpool’s midfield a priority

Amrabat, 26, is reportedly close to joining Atletico Madrid, thus Liverpool’s attempts to get him appear to have been futile, according to Foot Mercato. The athlete has already shown his appreciation for Diego Simeone and the Spanish team

Amrabat said the following to Marca when questioned about Atleti’s interest in him last month: “Being connected to these clubs is an enormous honor. I’m currently a player with Fiorentina. My club is a fantastic group, and I have a lot of respect for them

“I have a fantastic relationship with the club’s general manager, Joe Barone, and Daniele Prade in addition to the owner, Rocco Commisso, who brought me to Fiorentina (Sporting Director). They and the club are both very deserving of my regard

When asked if he admired Simeone’s playing style, Amrabat added: “I dislike talking about other people. Simeone has coached Atletico Madrid for a long time, so sure, what he does and what he has accomplished are both true. His playing is my favorite. He has achieved great success, and I greatly respect him. His team has physically powerful and aggressive athletes. I enjoy playing that way

Amrabat played each and every minute for Morocco during their incredible World Cup run last month, which saw them finish first in Group F ahead of Croatia and Belgium before defeating 2010 champions Spain on penalties. After defeats to France and Croatia in the playoff for third place, they next defeated Portugal in the quarterfinals

The midfielder’s reputation and fan base increased as a result of his performances, but with only one and a half years remaining on his contract at the Artemio Franchi Stadium, he may be offered for cheap

The midfielder’s brother, former Watford player Nordin Amrabat, anticipates increased interest following his World Cup performances. He said, as reported by the Dutch publication De Telegraaf: “The elite clubs in Europe, who had been dozing, have, in my opinion, suddenly woken up. Sofyan was in contact with Tottenham Hotspur in January, but there was no agreement reached with Fiorentina on the transfer fee. The interested parties will probably start to gather now
