Jurgen Klopp's desire to sign a defensive-minded midfielder has become clear after the Liverpool manager reportedly attended a secret transfer meeting.
Klopp is said to have met up with Sofyan Amrabat's representatives behind closed doors after the Fiorentina star's stellar performances helped Morocco reach the semi-finals of the World Cup. The Reds boss is keen to bolster his midfield in the January transfer window after a tricky first half of the season, with limited options at his disposal.
Experienced trio Jordan Henderson, Thiago and Fabinho have suffered injuries and dips in form since the start of the campaign, while youngsters Harvey Elliott and Fabio Carvalho have struggled to nail down a place in Klopp's XI. The German has, therefore, turned to the transfer market to snuff out reinforcements, although it doesn't look promising for the Anfield faithful.
