Fee lowered – Liverpool have to seal £21.3m signing by Friday – Report

Liverpool have been linked with Moroccan international and Fiorentina star, Sofyan Amrabat, and there is a latest twist in the saga.

As per today’s version of Corriere dello Sport (news image provided below), the Viola are tired of waiting and have given the midfielder and the suitors the ultimatum.

News – Liverpool move in to sign £30million and £60million players – Report

There is a doubt that the African star will stay in Florence and the doubt will turn into a reality if no one ends up meeting the asking price.

The Rome based media outlet have mentioned Liverpool may still be thinking about signing Amrabat, on the other hand, Ten Hag has been interested in luring the player to Man United.

However, the interest from the Reds or the Red Devils ‘must turn into a solid offer between now and Friday’ for the deal to be completed.

Initially, Fiorentina were asking for a fixed fee of 30 million euros, however, now, the fee has been lowered and the Moroccan can be lured for an initial price of 25 million euros (£21.3m).

The Italian side have made Amrabat clear they do not want a repeat of the transfer situation they faced in January and want his future resolved this week.

‘Whoever presents’ the money within time will be able to hire his services. So, Liverpool have to pay £21.3m plus bonuses by Friday to seal the signing of the Atlas Lions star.

The Serie A star was one of the best midfielders at the FIFA World Cup last year. He made the highest number of recoveries and covered the most distance in Qatar.

In your view, should Liverpool move in to seal his signing this week?

Pundit says it’s ‘total madness’ that Liverpool want to sign ‘explosive’ player

Dutch great Wim Kieft is shocked after rumours claimed Liverpool are interested in signing Johan Bakayoko from PSV Eindhoven this summer.

Jurgen Klopp‘s side have signed Alexis Mac Allister, Dominik Szoboszlai and Wataru Endo so far, but there is a feeling they will bring in one more player before the window shuts.

Kieft does not believe it will be Bakayoko, he said on Veronica Offside.

Pundit says it’s total madness that Liverpool have been linked with Johan Bakayoko

Johan Bakayoko is an impressive young player, and you can understand why Liverpool would be interested in signing him.

Branded as an ‘incredibly explosive‘ attacker, the 20-year-old is electric. He’s a left-footed right-winger by trade, and as a long-term Mo Salah replacement, he does make sense.

Dutch journalist Rik Elfrink claimed on Twitter recently that Liverpool have an interest in Bakayoko and he is definitely on Klopp’s list.

Kieft, who watches PSV every week, says he simply does not believe this transfer rumour.

He said, as quoted by Voetbal Primeur: “I was also so surprised by the news that Liverpool were interested in Bakayoko.

“That’s madness, isn’t it? I really think that’s total madness. I don’t believe all those reports. His agents are just putting such reports into the world.”

Bakayoko is an interesting player and we won’t be too surprised if Liverpool have kept an eye on him.

The 20-year-old already has four senior caps for Belgium, having scored seven goals and provided seven assists for PSV’s senior side over the last two seasons.

He is a very impressive young talent, but we would be baffled if Liverpool actually signed him before this summer’s transfer window shuts.

The Reds’ focus has to be on another midfielder, perhaps someone in the mould of Moises Caicedo or Rameo Lavia – the two players they very publicly missed out on this summer.
