Liverpool have reportedly turned their attention away from Jude Bellingham as a prospective signing.
According to The Times, the Reds have abandoned their pursuit of the Borussia Dortmund star.
This is apparently due to the cost of the deal, which is expected to surpass £120million.
According to 90Min, Liverpool instead prefer to spread their summer budget over multiple, cheaper options.
The online outlet named several players the Reds are reportedly eyeing, and said Sofyan Amrabat is an option.
Links between Liverpool and the Morocco international aren’t particularly new.
During the World Cup, Footmercato claimed Amrabat’s camp had spoken to the Reds about a January move.
While this didn’t lead to a move, it looks as though Liverpool have now rekindled their interest.
Amrabat made waves at the World Cup as he helped Morocco reach the semi-finals of the competition.

He played every minute of the Atlas Lions’ campaign as they became the first African nation to go that far.
Amrabat has also played regularly for Fiorentina, with 39 appearances to his name in 2022-23.
Fabrizio Romano claimed in January that the 26-year-old’s price tag stood at around £34million.
Our view
Amrabat is a talented player whose agent deemed him “the best holding midfielder at the World Cup”.
Liverpool certainly need to revamp their midfield in the summer.
Three Reds midfielders – Naby Keita, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain and James Milner – are out of contract in summer.
And Amrabat looks like he’d be a solid signing for Liverpool.
He would bring a tenacity and quality to the game which the Anfield faithful would surely appreciate.
