Liverpool is reportedly keen on Perr Schuurs but Leicester City has now made their move for th defender ahead of the deadline.
Schuurs may not ring many bells for Liverpool fans but he appears to be on the long-term radar at Anfield.
The Mirror reported in 2020 that Schuurs had taken him on trial from Fortuna Sittard earlier in his career.
Schuurs left Ajax for Torino last summer but Liverpool’s interest was again noted.
Agent George Gardi told Tuttosport earlier this season that Liverpool and Tottenham both tried to sign Schuurs over the summer.
Schuurs chose to guaranteed playing time at Torino, seemingly knowing that bigger clubs would come calling if he impressed in Italy.
Liverpool may well still have Schuurs on their radar but they may now see him join a Premier League rival in the coming days.
LEICESTER CITY OFFERS SWAP DEAL FOR LIVERPOOL TARGET PERR SCHUURS
Leicester – managed by ex-Liverpool boss Brendan Rodgers – has now come forward with a move for Schuurs.
SportItalia claims that Leicester has offered €28million (£ 25 million) plus midfielder Dennis Praet in an effort to tempt Torino into selling.
Praet spent last season on loan at Torino but has started just six Premier League games for Leicester this term.
The Foxes now seem willing to let Praet go and will hope that Torino liked him enough to accept this part-exchange deal.
It’s stated that Leicester envisages major interest in Schuurs over the summer and wants to get in for him now to avoid missing out.
Liverpool may well be one of the clubs Leicester fears missing out on, having held such a long-term interest in the Dutchman.
Torino surely won’t want to sell in the final days of the window but Leicester is pushing – and Schuurs may soon have another big transfer decision to make mere months after leaving Ajax.
