Liverpool readying offer for 23-year-old Serie A star; Klopp watched him for years

Liverpool is “in the forefront” of teams looking to acquire the Torino defender. According to Tuttosport, Per Schuurs and the Reds are prepared to make an offer of €50 million to capture the 23-year-old (via Sport Witness)

The Seria A team signed the Netherlands U21 international in the summer, and he has since been in decent form, making 24 appearances. Spurs, Manchester United, and PSG are also rumored to be interested in him.

According to the source, Jürgen Klopp is a major fan of the Dutchman and has thought about signing him in recent seasons.

At just 23, Schuurs certainly has his best years ahead of him and you’d suspect that he’d jump at the opportunity to come and play alongside his compatriot and Netherlands captain Virgil van Dijk.

The German tactician is pretty well stocked in terms of his central defensive options at the moment with our No. 4 and Ibou Konate appearing to be his preferred pairing with Joel Matip and Joe Gomez struggling to perform at their best this term.

Strengthening our midfield is believed to be the club’s priority in the summer but if the opportunity to sign a talented and exciting young central defender arises then we should certainly be interested.
