Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp met with the agent of Fiorentina midfielder Sofyan Amrabat in an attempt to land the Moroccan international in the January transfer window.
The Reds have already been credited with an interest in the holding midfielder, while it is suggested that he could be open to leaving the Italian club in order to satisfy his desire of playing in the Champions League. Klopp has prioritised bolstering Liverpool's midfield.
However, Liverpool's attempts to land Amrabat appear to have been unsuccessful with the 26-year-old instead believed to be closing in on a move to Atletico Madrid, according to Foot Mercato. The player has already spoken of his admiration for the Spanish club and their boss Diego Simeone.
