Liverpool has prepared a £34 million bid after Jurgen Klopp instructed his team to ‘get the transfer done at any cost.’
Liverpool are hoping to add two more players this summer after bringing in Alexis MacAllister and Dominik Szoboszlai.
Liverpool are preparing a £34 million bid for Torino center-back Perr Schuurs, according to reports. Jurgen Klopp has already brought in two new midfielders this summer, Alexis MacAllister and Dominik Szoboszlai, and is now seeking for a new defender.
Last season, the likes of Joel Matip, Ibrahima Konate, and Joe Gomez deceived, and Klopp is now desperate to reinforce his backline. According to Tuttosport, Liverpool have already had a £25 million deal for 23-year-old centre-back Schuurs rejected and are ready to counter with a £34 million bid.
According to the Italian newspaper, Klopp has sought the defender, who had a trial for Liverpool when he was 17 years old, for almost two years and has directed his officials to get the move done at any cost. Schuurs, who is only 23 and can also play at right-back, is an appealing choice for Liverpool, who have established a habit of signing young players on the rise.
However, they may have competition for his signature, with Napoli also rumored to be interested. The Italian champions are looking for a new center-back after Kim Min-Jae left for Bayern Munich, and Schuurs has been mentioned as a possible target. The 23-year-old had been projected for a big future after breaking through at Ajax in 2018, with many expecting him to be Matthijs de Ligt’s obvious successor.
Schuurs, on the other hand, unable to live up to the hype and left the club last year for a fresh start in Italy. And he’s made an immediate impact since joining Torino, appearing 36 times in his first season as the club finished 10th in Serie A.
Meanwhile, Liverpool has been linked with other defenders such as Goncalo Inacio, Colwill, Marc Guehi, and Micky van de Ven, but the latter is expecting an offer from Tottenham in the coming days.

Liverpool’s midfield woes this season cannot be overstated.
When the summer window opens, Jurgen Klopp and his team will have to use their time and resources wisely.
To the chagrin of the Anfield faithful, the club’s long-running pursuit of Jude Bellingham recently came to an end.
With Carragher announcing the need to sign three midfielders over the next 12 months at the end of last season, it’s time to turn their attention to cheaper alternatives to the English teen.
Their transfer incompetence has been thrashed by supporters, and now Champions League winner Carragher has chastised the club for appearing ‘weak’ and ‘negligent’.
Jamie Carragher’s thoughts on Former Liverpool defender Jamie Carragher wrote for The Telegraph about how fans feel misled following their club’s withdrawal from their long-running Bellingham pursuit.
Liverpool will need ready-made reinforcements this summer if they are to regain their title-challenging form, which has been lacking this season.
Despite their interest in Bellingham and Aurelien Tchouameni, Liverpool must have been aware of the urgent need for a midfield renewal, according to his comments.
Arthur Melo, a last-minute loan signing by Klopp Carragher has called a “embarrassing climbdown” and a “waste of money,” enters the picture at this point.
“That is [Klopp’s] biggest mistake on this issue and he knows it,” Carragher wrote for The Telegraph. “The big giveaway that he realised his error in not recruiting before the last pre-season was the last-minute scramble for Arthur Melo on the final day of last August’s transfer window.”
Liverpool, a team based in Anfield, justified their financial outlay as a means of buying time while searching for a longer-term, world-beating midfielder.
“That deal was a money-wasting climbdown and embarrassing. Liverpool was waiting for the longer-term goal, which was the justification at the time.
Anfield’s disappointing tenure with Arthur Melo
The Brazilian international’s stay in Merseyside, where he paid a loan fee of £3.9 million, has been one to forget.
Melo has mostly played for Liverpool’s Under-21 team, making just one appearance for the senior team in their 1-0 loss to Napoli.
Transfer insider Dean Jones told GIVEMESPORT that their loaned midfielder Melo has been nothing more than a “panic buy.”
Since joining from Italian powerhouse Juventus, Melo’s absence from Anfield matches has been primarily due to injury.
The player in question will, unfortunately, probably return to Turin this summer because the venture was a failure for both parties.
The Anfield hierarchy will have to accept this as yet another hiring blunder, but all eyes will be on their summer transfer activity now that their pursuit of one of the biggest prospects in world football has come to a shaming end.
