Virgil van Dijk is a big fan of Liverpool target Perr Schuurs
The quest to bolster Liverpool FC’s defensive ranks has taken another intriguing turn, as Torino defender Perr Schuurs reportedly reenters the spotlight as a potential solution to the club’s search for a left-side centre-back. With the pursuit of Levi Colwill coming to an end, the focus now shifts to Schuurs.
Liverpool’s pursuit of Levi Colwill was a saga that unfolded with excitement, only to conclude with the young talent committing his future to Chelsea. While the disappointment was palpable, it’s a testament to the club’s ambition that they continue their search for a suitable left-side centre-back.
This is where Perr Schuurs comes back into the equation, offering a fresh possibility to reinforce the defensive ranks. The 23-year-old Dutch defender has been a recurrent subject of transfer speculation, and it seems the buzz around him is gaining traction once again.
What’s intriguing about this connection is the reported admiration from none other than Virgil van Dijk himself. The Liverpool superstar himself is a top centre-back, and as they say, only a jeweller knows the true value of a diamond. That is according to Football Insider via ECHO who also claim that Torino would let go of the player for €30m+.
Schuurs to the Reds?
Virgil’s opinion carries significant weight in matters related to defensive acquisitions. His keen eye for defensive talent, coupled with his stature as a defensive maestro, lends credibility to the notion that Schuurs possesses qualities that align with Liverpool’s style of play.
The fact that Van Dijk is reportedly a “big fan” of Schuurs and “well-aware” of his capabilities indicates that the Dutchman could potentially slot into the Liverpool setup seamlessly.

Jurgen Klopp’s tactical blueprint hinges on a solid defensive foundation that facilitates quick transitions and high-pressing football. Schuurs’ attributes align with this philosophy. His ability to read the game, initiate attacks from the back, and operate in a high defensive line make him a suitable candidate to complement the existing defensive roster.
