Jurgen Klopp has 'spoken directly' to Fiorentina's Sofyan Amrabat as he desperately tries to bolster his midfield options at Anfield, according to reports.
Liverpool missed out on the signing of Moises Caicedo earlier this week as the Brighton midfielder opted for a move to Chelsea, and Southampton's Romeo Lavia looks set to do the same.
But 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 report suggests that the Liverpool boss has managed to woo the Moroccan international in talks, and that the 26-year-old now has his heart set on a move to Anfield.
