Football transfer journalist Ian Doyle has waved aside any possibility of Liverpool hijacking Manchester United’s move for Sofyan Amrabat.
He said such a move seems highly unlikely this summer.
As per the Mirror, both clubs are interested in signing the Fiorentina midfielder this summer as they look to strengthen their midfield.
The Reds have signed Alexis Mac Allister and Dominik Szoboszlai but have parted ways with Naby Keita, James Milner, and Alex-Oxlade Chamberlain.
Jordan Henderson and Fabinho have also been linked with a move to Saudi Arabia.
Liverpool have identified Amrabat as a transfer target but as per Doyle, a move for the Moroccan midfielder is unlikely.
He told RedmenTV: “As much as you want to be proactive in the transfer market, you have to be reactive as well.
“Going back to the other two names, Phillips and Amrabat have been linked in the past and both times Liverpool have distanced themselves from it.
“I can’t see either of those signing for Liverpool to be honest.”
