Those words reached the ears of head coach Jürgen Klopp, who, during the World Cup celebrations, has marvelled at the level and potential of Amrabat, who dominated the midfield and humbled Real Madrid superstar Luka Modrić in the matchday 1 clash against Croatia. The game ended in a draw and was key to the Africans' progress to the Round of 16, winning Group F with seven points.

Amrabat, who came through the ranks at Dutch club FC Utrecht in 2014, made the big leap into the Eredivisie with Feyernoord Amsterdam in 2017, then arrived in Belgium the following season with Club Brugge, where he went on loan to Italian side Hellas Verona, before being sold to them in 2020 and bought from Fiorentina the same summer. Loaned to Verona the following year, and once again, back in this 22/23 to Florence, Amarabat today, focuses on "The Lions".

The Sofyan's mental ability could give The Pool a wider view of the pitch, being a great partner in attack for Mo Salah, who would have more attacking power with the arrival of another African at Anfield. Amrabat's annual fee of 1.5 million euros would not be an obstacle for Klopp, as the imminent departures of OX and Keita would make a significant space for the 26-year-old, who also has Dutch ancestry.
