Liverpool called to check the signing of another player ahead of Wataru Endo – Fabrizio Romano

Liverpool called up Sofyan Amrabat immediately after the departure of Moises Caicedo this summer. After losing Caicedo and Romeo Lavia to Chelsea, the Reds were in desperate need of a midfield signing. News emerged yesterday that Liverpool were “within five” of signing Amrabat despite finishing Ryan Gravenberch and Wataru Endo.
The Moroccan has finally joined Manchester United, whose fans will no doubt be delighted to see the Liverpool player win. However, according to reporter Fabrizio Romano’s Daily Briefing, they don’t need to party too hard. Sofia Amrabat
Roman claims that although the Reds invited Amrabat, it never went further.
“I was asked about some reports from Liverpool that the Moroccan midfielder [Amrabat] is very close to signing this summer,” says the reporter. – As far as I know, Liverpool just called in the summer after the Moises Caicedo story and asked about Amrabat’s contract terms and nothing else. It wasn’t even a negotiation, it was a request, and then they moved to different places.
“I think there is no need to compare because in that position they preferred Wataru Endo, so their choice was clear.”
Liverpool invited Amrabat
Liverpool’s initial interest in Amrabat was no secret. It was reported that the Reds wanted to bring him in last winter.
However, the feeling remains that if Liverpool really wanted the 27-year-old, they would have got him. Since joining United, Amrabat has been keen to show how much he wants to move to Old Trafford. But if the Reds had made a determined effort, they would surely have walked away with their man. Liverpool just weren’t convinced that Amrabat was the right signing, it seems. There are good reasons for this.
On the other hand, considering it’s a loan move, Liverpool could do a lot worse for a quality player that Jurgen Klopp desperately needs. The United man was described as “extraordinary” at last year’s World Cup [TalkSPORT]. He has a pedigree. Therefore, there are undoubtedly many fans who would prefer to see Amrabat bring in Endo. Despite that, we are where we are. Endo is a Liverpool player and Amrabat is now our rival. Time will tell if it was the right decision. However, let’s go behind my husband.
