Tottenham Hotspurs are prepared to step up their pursuit of Sofyan Amrabat of Fiorentina and are willing to spend more than €50 million on the Moroccan international.
To sign the 26-year-old, though, the North London club will have to compete with Liverpool and Atletico Madrid.
The international player from Morocco has been the surprise of the World Cup in Qatar, guiding his team to their first-ever semi-final in history.
Despite Friday night’s 2-0 loss to France, the Atlas Lions will face Croatia on Sunday for third place.
Amrabat’s current level of interest may encourage Fiorentina to consider a sale at the appropriate price, despite their stated desire to keep him.
La Repubblica claims that amount will be a bare minimum of €50 million, which Tottenham Hotspur, under Antonio Conte, may be willing to pay.
Amrabat, who joined Fiorentina from Hellas Verona in January 2020 for little under €20 million, had already drawn interest from Liverpool and Atletico Madrid.
The 26-year-old has played 20 competitive games for the Viola this season, split between Serie A and the Conference League.
