Sunday Morning Done deal: Man united set to announce the signing of £35m Star today, verbal agreement reached yesterday,4yrs contract signed..Here we Go
The serie A star has rejected Liverpool in favour of a move to Manchester United with a move to Old Trafford reportedly imminent.
Jurgen Klopp’s squad needs a new no.6 and Moises Caicedo and Romeo Lavia have both been subject of serious interest from the Reds.
With both midfielders’ futures unresolved, a claim from trusted journalist Alfredo Pedulla, speaking to MUFC Realist TV, suggests Liverpool also investigated signing Amrabat.
However, United have reached an agreement with the 26-year-old over personal terms worth £75,000 a week despite receiving a proposal from Liverpool.
Bayern Munich were also keen while there was some interest from the Saudi Pro League in the €40 million (£34m) midfielder.
Jurgen Klopp, working with greater authority than ever before, is hoping to add more talent to his midfield before the Premier League transfer window closes at the start of September.
Despite agreeing a record £111 million bid with Brighton for Moises Caicedo, a conclusion to the saga has yet to be reached. Chelsea host Liverpool at Stamford Bridge today in a battle part of a larger war going on between the two sides.
Romeo Lavia has been used as a pawn in Chelsea’s transfer chess match with Liverpool. With the Reds refusing to withdraw their offer, the pressure is on the Blues to match or outbid them.
Chelsea have also agreed a fee with Southampton for Lavia but the Belgian midfielder wants to join Liverpool instead.
