Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp has 'spoken directly' to Fiorentina's Sofyan Amrabat as he desperately tries to bolster his midfield, according to reports.
The Reds have been looking to bring in fresh midfield talent this summer but were pipped to the signings of Moises Caicedo and Romeo Lavia, who both favoured a move to rivals Chelsea.
However, Klopp could now be set to win a transfer tussle of his own, with Dutch publication AD claiming that Amrabat will ignore the advances of Manchester United to sign for Liverpool.
The outlet suggest that the Liverpool boss has managed to win over the Moroccan international in talks, and that the 26-year-old now has his heart set on a move to Anfield.
