Liverpool transfer hijacked by rival with club-record bid, leaving Reds in a precarious situation in Premier League.
Crystal Palace has reportedly made a significant bid to secure the services of a talented player who has also been linked with Liverpool.
Despite Liverpool’s focus on strengthening their midfield, they are said to be considering options in other positions, particularly center-half and right-back.
One name that has emerged as Jurgen Klopp’s primary defensive target is Perr Schuurs, a skilled 23-year-old defender currently playing for Torino and the Netherlands.
However, Crystal Palace has acted swiftly and decisively in pursuing Schuurs.
Palace Makes Club-Record Bid for Schuurs
Orazio Accomando, a reporter from DAZN Italia, took to Twitter to announce that Palace is on the verge of signing the Dutchman.
They have submitted a club-record bid of around €35 million (£29.8 million), surpassing the previous record set when they acquired Christian Benteke from Liverpool for £27 million in 2016.
Despite Palace’s strong bid, Schuurs reportedly has his heart set on a move to Liverpool.
The appeal of joining Jurgen Klopp’s team is significantly higher for him than any other English side.
In a potential twist, Torino might offer Liverpool a slight discount on the €35 million asking price to facilitate Schuurs’ desired move.
Liverpool to Response Crystal Palace’s Bid for Schuurs
However, the ball is now in Liverpool’s court, and they must act swiftly if they want to secure the services of Schuurs while fending off Crystal Palace’s attempt to hijack the deal.
Their response to this situation will be crucial, with Liverpool actively pursuing another midfielder. Schuurs may move to Selhurst Park to join Crystal Palace if they fail to act promptly.
In summary, Crystal Palace has made a club-record bid for Perr Schuurs, who Liverpool also wants.
The Dutch defender has expressed a strong desire to join Liverpool, considering the appeal of playing under Jurgen Klopp.
However, if Liverpool fails to respond promptly, Crystal Palace may be able to secure Schuurs’ services.
Liverpool is my Religion and Anfield is my Church. 17th May 1996 the date I had my blood coloured red. The one you love the most you can not live without it and that is football to me.
