# Tottenham ‘ready to open negotiations’ for Sofyan Amrabat

**[Tottenham Hotspur](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/tottenham-hotspur-news/) are ‘ready to open negotiations’ for Fiorentina star Sofyan Amrabat as sources from Italy share Spurs’ chances of signing him.**

### The Lowdown: Paratici interested…

Lilywhites sporting director Fabio Paratici is thought to hold a serious interest in signing the Morocco international, who played a [starring role](https://twitter.com/JamieSmith_25/status/1601628006954729474) in the African side’s run to this year’s [World Cup](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/world-cup-2022/) semi-finals.

The [Premier League](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/premier-league-news/) side are eyeing a move for Amrabat after his brilliant individual campaign in Qatar, but they’re not the only ones, with Liverpool [also thought](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/liverpool-fc-news/liverpool-premier-league-sofyan-amrabat-transfer-news-updates/) to be in the mix.

Antonio Conte is tasked with clinching a second-successive top four finish for Spurs and potentially silverware, highlighting the need for quality reinforcements ahead of January.

### The Latest: Spurs ready Amrabat talks…

Italian reports now share Paratici’s chances of signing the 26-year-old next month as the club prepare to enter discussions.

[La Repubblica](https://www.repubblica.it/sport/calcio/mercato/2022/12/15/news/tottenham_amrabat_parisi_inter-379163979/?rss&ref=tws) claim the north Londoners are in fact ‘ready to open negotiations’ for Amrabat with Spurs, and Paratici by extension, ‘trying’ to make a move.

Fiorentina, it appears, are very reluctant to sell mid-season but an offer of ‘at least’ £44 million could sway them.

### The Verdict: Right man?

There is little denying Amrabat’s quality given he has emerged as one of this World Cup’s breakout stars, with footballer Jamie Smith calling him[‘sensational’.](https://twitter.com/JamieSmith_25/status/1601628006954729474)

However, Conte already has many quality options in central midfield, including Rodrigo Bentancur, Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg, Yves Bissouma and Oliver Skipp – making the need for another body questionable.

Instead, perhaps Paratici should focus his efforts on the signing of a central defender or further attacking options to support the likes of Harry Kane, Son Heung-min and Richarlison.
