Liverpool held talks with Fiorentina midfielder Sofyan Amrabat before the World Cup, it has been revealed.
Foot Mercato says Reds boss Jurgen Klopp wants to strengthen in the middle of the park in the January window.
And they state that led to the Reds boss actually meeting with Amrabat's entourage prior to his heroics for his country in Qatar.
Tottenham were keen last summer but failed to agree a fee with the Italian side.
They are still believed to hold an interest in the ace – but now Liverpool look to be leading the chase.
Liverpool's meeting was “positive" and that they have “planned to see each other again after the 2022 World Cup".
Fiorentina still have the option to extend Amrabat's contract by a further year and keep his transfer value high.
However, the player is said to have “dreamed" about playing in the Premier League and Liverpool's interest could prove too hard to resist.

Good news, maybe the identical “missing part” of the Reds’ MF. Looking forward to seeing on EPL.
