Jurgen Klopp’s Liverpool and David Moyes’s West Ham United could reportedly miss out on Perr Schuurs to Roy Hodgson’s Crystal Palace.
According to TuttoSport, Liverpool, West Ham United and Crystal Palace all want to sign Perr Schuurs from Torino in the summer transfer window.
Torino are looking for €40 million (£34.36 million) in transfer fees for the 23-year-old Dutch central defender.
Liverpool, West Ham and Palace are yet to make a bid matching that sum.
However, according to the Italian publication, Palace have an agreement in principle with the defender, which means that the London club just need to do a deal with Torino to complete the transfer.
Liverpool should step up Perr Schuurs pursuit
We believe that if Liverpool are genuinely keen on signing Perr Schuurs, then they should make a bid to Torino.
A transfer fee of €40 million (£34.36 million) is not that much for a defender as highly rated as Schuurs.
Former Liverpool striker Michael Owen was hugely impressed by the defender when he was at Ajax.
Schuurs moved to Torino in the summer of 2022.
“(Schuurs) will be the new Matthijs de Ligt,” Owen told BT Sport (21 October, 10.30pm).
“He is still young, but what a body and what strength. He already reminds me a lot of De Ligt.
“Nice on the ball, aggressive and strong for his age. (Ajax) sold De Ligt for a lot of money but he can take over that role completely.”
Liverpool are a bigger and more ambitious club than Palace, so if the Eagles could come to an agreement with Schuurs, then so could the Merseyside club.
West Ham are also claimed to be keen on the 23-year-old.
Liverpool clearly have their work cut out.
The former Premier League and UEFA Champions League winners need to step up their pursuit of Schuurs now.
Schuurs made 28 starts and two substitute appearances in Serie A for Torino last season, providing two assists in the process.
