Liverpool have been given hope of signing Fiorentina midfielder Sofyan Amrabat after he was left out of their Europa League squad.

Fiorentina boss Vincenzo Italiano has confirmed that Liverpool target Sofyan Amrabat is now training on his own.

Liverpool landed one new midfielder on Friday as Wataru Endo completed his move from Stuttgart to Anfield.

The Reds are still hunting for another midfielder though and Fiorentina star Amrabat appears to be a key target.

Dutch newspaper Algemeen Dagblad reported this time last week that Liverpool were ‘on track’ to sign Amrabat with a £30million deal agreed.

Fabrizio Romano then reported that a deal wasn’t agreed but Liverpool had held talks with both Fiorentina and Amrabat’s representatives.

The Moroccan star – described as ‘outstanding’ by former Manchester United star Roy Keane – appears to be a prime candidate for Liverpool.

Manchester United are also very interested as boss Erik ten Hag worked with Amrabat during their time together at Utrecht.

A premier League move seems to be on the cards and Fiorentina have now opened the door to a transfer.

Liverpool target Sofyan Amrabat now ‘training on his own’

Fiorentina are preparing to take on Rapid Wien in their Europa Conference League qualifying tie on Thursday.

Eyebrows were raised earlier on Wednesday when Fiorentina announced their travelling squad to Austria.

Amrabat was nowhere to be seen, with everybody of course expecting this to be transfer related.

There had been no reports of injury, illness or personal matters so Amrabat’s exclusion seemed strange.

Fiorentina boss Vincenzo Italiano has now confirmed that Amrabat is training on his own back in Italy.

Italiano indicated that Amrabat will not travel to Austria with a transfer surely on the cards now.

If there was any other reason, this would have been the time to say it – but Italiano just indicated that Amrabat is training on his own.

This seems like the biggest hint yet that Amrabat is on his way out of Fiorentina with Liverpool now hoping to beat Manchester United to his signature.
