Liverpool weighing up summer offer for Barcelona midfield target – report

Earlier this week, reports in Spain claimed that Barcelona had made Fiorentina star Sofyan Amrabat their preferred midfield target for the summer, putting an end to their pursuit of Martin Zubimendi.

The Moroccan international was heavily linked with a move to Spotify Camp Nou during the January transfer window but a move had not materialised. However, as he gets set to enter the final year of his contract in the summer, Barcelona are lining up another swoop for him.

But, according to reports from various English media outlets, as relayed by SPORT, Liverpool are also weighing up an offer to sign Amrabat in the summer transfer window.

The Reds are set to revamp their midfield department which has struggled this season. The likes of Jordan Henderson, James Milner, and Thiago Alcantara are past their prime while Naby Keita and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain are also headed for the exit doors.

So, there is set to be a revolution at Anfield as far as the midfield unit is concerned. Jude Bellingham had been one of their top targets, but Liverpool have pulled out of the race and are looking at alternatives.

Meanwhile, Amrabat has emerged as an option for Jurgen Klopp’s side. The Moroccan international has been linked with Liverpool previously as well, owing to his stunning exploits at the FIFA World Cup 2022 in Qatar.

And, it seems like he is again back on the agenda at the Premier League club, who are now weighing up tabling an offer to Fiorentina for his signing.

This is likely to raise some concerns within the Barcelona camp as they would not be in a position to compete financially with Liverpool.

However, it has previously been reported that Amrabat dreams of signing for the Blaugrana, which could give them an edge. It remains to be seen how things pan out as far as Barça’s pursuit of the Fiorentina star is concerned.
