In the last days of the summer market, Sofyan Amrabat seemed to have joined Liverpool, but the transfer situation suddenly changed at the last minute. The Moroccan midfielder joined the Red Devils of Manchester on loan from Fiorentina for a fee of 8.5 million pounds, with a buyout clause of 21.4 million pounds at the end of the season.

Last weekend, Amrabat made his MU debut in a victory over Burnley. He just started in the Carabao Cup and made a strong impression against Crystal Palace.

However, a source from the Daily Mail revealed that the 27-year-old player almost signed a contract with Liverpool last month.

Coach Jurgen Klopp personally called to convince Amrabat to move to Anfield, to fill the void left by Jordan Henderson, Fabinho, and James Milner.

However, negotiations between Liverpool and Amrabat representatives paused for one day. They suddenly turned to Ryan Gravenberch.

Liverpool’s leadership decided to recruit the Dutch midfielder instead of Amrabat because Gravenberch is only 21 years old and also fits the German coach’s philosophy.

Finally, Sofyan Amrabat landed at Old Trafford. A back injury delayed the Moroccan star’s debut until the away trip to Burnley.

In the encounter with Crysta Palace in the English League Cup, Amrabat played well as a left-back and many times moved into midfield with Casemiro.
