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.

‘Quite fancies this’ – Liverpool fans will love reliable journo’s Levi Colwill update
Levi Colwill is now Liverpool’s ‘top’ transfer target this summer and the Anfield outfit have ‘belief’ that they can prize the Chelsea defender to Merseyside during the current window.

Jurgen Klopp has already strengthened his options in midfield this summer with the signings of Alexis Mac Allister and Dominik Szoboszlai and the Germans tactician now wants to add reinforcements in defence.

Colwill impressed while on loan at Brighton last term and was an integral part of Lee Carsley’s U21 England side that won the European Championships last week without conceding a single goal.

“Our understanding is that there is a bit of confidence here, Liverpool think they can get him out,” Bailey told 90min’s Talking Transfer Podcast (via Rousing The Kop). “Levi Colwill is ensured he can get a chance at Chelsea.

“Chelsea don’t want him to leave, but if players don’t commit their future they do sell. I think Colwill quite fancies this, there’s something in this.

“Liverpool are pushing quite hard for this, there is blood in the water and they really sense that. He is their top target now and there is a belief at Anfield that they could get him.”

Brighton were interested in making Colwill’s move to the Amex Stadium a permanent one but had a £30m offer rejected by Chelsea last month (The Guardian) and are yet to submit a second offer.

Mauricio Pochettino does not want to sell the 20-year-old who still has two years remaining on his current deal at Stamford Bridge.

The Southampton-born defender will be eager to play regularly again this term after impressing on the south coast and will have to decide whether Chelsea is the right place for him to continue his development.

The Blues will not want to sell to a rival like ourselves but we’ve seen already with Mason Mount this summer that if they receive the right offer they will bid farewell.

We think it’ll be difficult to get a deal over the line but if Bailey’s comments are to be believed then senior figures at Liverpool are growing in confidence.

Liverpool ‘leading the race’ for dynamic PL star this summer as Jurgen Klopp eyes third midfield signing – Football…
Liverpool are ‘leading the race’ for Southampton midfielder Romeo Lavia this summer, that’s according to a fresh report from Football Insider.

The 19-year-old impressed for the Saints last term despite their relegation from the Premier League and is therefore attracting interest from a number of sides in the top-flight.

Jurgen Klopp’s side have already signed two new central midfielders this summer in the form of Alexis Mac Allister and Dominik Szoboszlai but the Reds are believed to be preparing a move for ex-Manchester City man Lavia.

Fabrizio Romano has revealed that the dynamic star is on Liverpool’s list at the moment with Liverpool already bidding farewell to James Milner, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain and Naby Keita this summer and the futures of both Jordan Henderson and Fabinho far from clear.

Southampton are holding out for as much money as possible for the teenager due to the fact Manchester City are owed 20% off any transfer fee after a clause was inserted in his contract last year when he moved to the south coast from the Sky Blues.

It’ll be interesting to see what further business we can complete during the remainder of the transfer window as we look to once again compete on all four fronts again next term.
