Tottenham Hotspur are reportedly stepping up their pursuit of Fiorentina midfielder Sofyan Amrabat, ready to fight Liverpool, Atletico Madrid and more in January for over €50m.
The Morocco international has been the revelation of the World Cup in Qatar, leading his men to their historic first ever semi-final.
Although they were defeated 2-0 by France last night, the Atlas Lions will challenge Croatia for third place on Sunday.
Fiorentina have made it clear they do not want to sell Amrabat, but the interest he is attracting could tempt them into a sale at the right price.
According to La Repubblica, that will be an absolute minimum of €50m, a figure that Antonio Conte’s Tottenham Hotspur may well be prepared to pay.
Liverpool and Atletico Madrid had already been linked with Amrabat, who cost Fiorentina just under €20m to sign from Hellas Verona in January 2020.
The 26-year-old has so far this season made 20 competitive appearances for the Viola between Serie A and the Conference League.
