Serie A side holding firm in their €40m asking price for 23-year-old Liverpool target

Torino hold firm on their valuation of Liverpool target Perr Schuurs

Liverpool have received an update on the potential transfer of Perr Schuurs, with Torino reportedly standing firm on their valuation of the Dutch defender.

According to Tuttosport, via Football Italia [h/t ECHO], Torino recently received a €35m offer from Crystal Palace for Schuurs, but they remain resolute in their valuation of €40m.

The report also reveals that Liverpool’s latest bid for Schuurs falls slightly short of Torino’s asking price, with the offer being just over €30m

. Torino’s intention is to use the proceeds from Schuurs’ sale to fund their own summer signings, which explains their determination to hold firm on their valuation.

For Liverpool, this news presents a challenge in their pursuit of Schuurs. While the defender has garnered interest from the club, they now face the task of either meeting Torino’s valuation or negotiating a compromise that satisfies both parties.

The club’s management will need to carefully assess their options and decide whether the 23-year-old is worth meeting Torino’s valuation or if they should explore alternative defensive targets.

It is not that the world ends at Schuurs or something along those lines. There are plenty of other centre-halves in the market as well. The only reason to say this is that the Reds might fall short of the homegrown quota, and getting on board someone like Levi Colwill

, who might help us tackle both issues might end up being much more wiser in terms of transfer strategy.

Having said that, as the transfer window progresses, negotiations and discussions will likely continue between Liverpool and Torino.

Liverpool fans will be hopeful that the club can strike a deal that benefits all parties involved while adding depth and quality to their defensive ranks.

Torino’s firm stance on their valuation of Schuurs surely presents a challenge for Liverpool in their pursuit of the Dutch defender. However, the Reds have surely faced much more challenging times than the asking price of a transfer target, and we can sit back knowing that the people in charge will do what’s best for the club.
