Liverpool now leading the race for Ace midfielder but may have to wait until the summer

Liverpool are now leading the race to sign Fiorentina midfielder Sofyan Amrabat but they may have to wait until the summer.

Amrabat was one of the top performers at the World Cup in Qatar, assisting Morocco in making the semifinals.

A new midfielder might be a priority for Liverpool in the summer transfer window given that Naby Keita, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, and James Milner all have contracts that expire at the end of the current campaign.

Currently, Amrabat of Fiorentina is the focus of Liverpool, who may have to wait until the summer to make a move for him, according to Calcio Mercato.

According to reports, Amrabat is pleased to remain at the club this month and is committed to aiding Fiorentina. According to the report, Fiorentina values Amrabat at about £35 million and has thus far resisted offers for the midfielder.

By the time the summer transfer window opens, Amrabat’s price tag could be lower considering his contract is up next year, so Liverpool may be able to secure themselves a bargain in a few month’s time rather than paying over the odds in January.
