According to Calciomercato, Torino “will let him leave” if they receive €40 million (£34m) after already rejected a €30 million (£25.8) bid from Crystal Palace.
Jurgen Klopp’s side is need of a new centre-back as they get set to put their 3-2-2-3 system to the test this season. The Premier League begins this weekend with a trip to face Chelsea and the Reds are ill prepared.
A deal to sign Romeo Lavia has yet to be completed even though the signs point towards the Belgian finally signing for the Reds some time in the next week.
Whether or not Liverpool actually submit a bid to sign the Dutchman remains to be seen but he would be an interesting addition to the squad.
He’s 6 foot 3 so there’s no doubt he would be able to cope with the intensity and physicality of the Premier League. Not only is he an “aggressive” defender, he is smart about when to commit himself to a challenge.
In this way, he reminds me of his patriot Virgil van Dijk although the young centre-back is obviously not on the same level.
