A lower-priced alternative would be Morocco star Amrabat, who has risen to prominence in Qatar with a series of superb displays, with Liverpool planning talks with his representatives after the World Cup concludes.
The 27-year-old could be available for a cut-price fee as his current deal with Fiorentina expires in 2024 and would surely fill Fabinho’s role if he is sold.
Robinson has insisted Fabinho is still well within his prime, though, and suggested they should not be willing to sell without having a succession plan in place.
“How much is he worth? It’s a difficult one. I don’t think Liverpool would consider anything less than £50million,” he added. “It is not as if he is old. He still has another three or four years at the very top. I wouldn’t say they should keep him at all costs but they certainly need a replacement ready if they are to sell.”
