'I do not deny' - Sofyan Amrabat agent speaks out on future of World Cup star amid Liverpool links

The agent of Sofyan Amrabat has admitted his client is receiving plenty of transfer interest as a result of his impressive performances for Morocco at the World Cup.

Amrabat has played a key role in his country reaching the last four of the competition and will now be aiming to shine once again on Wednesday evening when going head-to-head with France.

Liverpool are one of the teams to have been linked with the 26-year-old, whose contract at current employers Fiorentina is set to expire in 2024, but it appears the Reds are expected to face significant competition for his services should Jurgen Klopp's side make a move.

Offering an update on recent speculation surrounding the future of the midfielder, Amrabat's agent told Radio Sportiva: "We speak constantly. Beyond the usual ‘good luck’ messages, I’m sending him the news from Italy about the rumours going around. Besides being incredible in the breaking phase of play, he also knows how to behave well with the ball and chain.

"Last year [at Fiorentina] he was slightly covered by [Lucas] Torreira, but this year all of Florence is enjoying his qualities, especially after this first part of the season. Of course we like calls, but we have a lot of respect for the choices they are making in the club.

"The player still has a long contract in Florence, with an option to extend it further. I do not deny that the calls are coming in, but we are on very good terms with the management."
