Liverpool maintain interest in 23-year-old Serie A defender

Liverpool maintain interest in Torino’s Perr Schuurs

Liverpool’s search for defensive reinforcements continues as the Reds continue to see themselves linked with a move for Dutch centre-back Perr Schuurs.

According to Italian outlet Toro.it via ECHO, Liverpool, along with Crystal Palace, have been closely monitoring the 23-year-old’s situation. Schuurs is apparently uncertain about his future at the Italian club. This uncertainty has piqued the interest of both Liverpool and Crystal Palace, who are considering making a move for the talented defender.

However, there seems to be one major hurdle standing in the way of any potential deal—the transfer fee demanded by Torino. The Italian club insist on a substantial £34.2m

The Dutch centre-back has shown great potential in his career so far and could be a valuable addition to Jurgen Klopp’s squad.

Schuurs to the Reds?

However, the reported transfer fee of €40m is quite substantial, and only time will tell if Liverpool will be willing to meet Torino’s demands. The club’s current focus may be on getting on board midfielders, but sooner or later, the need to reinforce the defence will surely come up.

The situation is similar for Crystal Palace, who also show interest in Schuurs. The Eagles are looking to strengthen their squad ahead of the new season, and the Dutch defender could be a good fit for Roy Hodgson’s team.

While Schuurs could surely prove to be a very good option, it would be wise of the club to display some patience as there is still time to go for the transfer window to end. The likes of Levi Colwill among others might suit the Reds’ requirements better than other players, and that is why, it would be essential to wait before jumping the gun.
