FIORENTINA star Sofyan Amrabat has skipped training to seal a move away from the club, according to reports.

The midfielder is a target for Barcelona and Liverpool due to his impressive performances in Serie A and at the World Cup in Qatar with Morocco.

The LaLiga side have stolen a march on Liverpool, having offered a loan to buy a deal worth £35million, according to Fabrizio Romano.

The deal comprises of a £2.64m loan fee with an option to buy him worth £32.5m.

However, Fiorentina are “not accepting these conditions.”

But the player is believed to want the move, as Romano later tweeted: “Sofyan Amrabat didn’t show up for Fiorentina training today.

“Now forcing possible deadline move after Barca proposal rejected.”

Amrabat is highly rated in Italy and is seen as one of the best-holding midfielders in the league.

During the World Cup, he played an important role in Morocco’s run to the semi-finals.

Liverpool are yet to make an offer to sign the player and are set to miss out on his signature.

Barca supposedly want the 26-year-old as they look to identify a replacement for veteran Sergio Busquets.

The Catalan giants are also keeping tabs on Real Sociedad’s Martin Zubimendi in case they cannot seal the deal for the La Viola ace.
