As per an update by reputed Italian journalist Fabrizio Romano, Liverpool have scheduled a fresh round of talks to sign the 24-year-old England International defender. He’s out of contract next summer, and he could be available for a reasonable amount of money this summer.
He helped Crystal Palace win the FA Cup last season, and he is certainly one of the best defenders in the league right now. Liverpool are hoping to sign him for a reasonable amount of money, and it remains to be seen whether they can convince Crystal Palace. The defender is keen on taking up a new challenge, and the opportunity to join the Premier League champions will be quite attractive for him. It remains to be seen how the situation develops.
Liverpool need defensive reinforcements, and another central defender would be ideal for them. He will help them improve defensively, and he could form a solid partnership with the likes of Ibrahima Konate and Virgil van Dijk. Meanwhile, Liverpool have sanctioned the departure of Jarell Quansah, and the young defender will need to be replaced as well.
The 24-year-old Crystal Palace star could be the ideal acquisition. He is well settled in the Premier League, and he could make an instant impact at Liverpool if he joins the club. He will look to compete at the highest level and fight for major trophies. He will be able to compete in the Champions League with Liverpool next season. They are one of the biggest clubs in the world, and they have been fighting for major trophies regularly. It is no surprise that the player wants to join them. It remains to be seen whether Liverpool can secure an agreement with Crystal Palace.
They will be hoping to recoup as much as possible for the defender. There have been rumours that they could demand around £50 million. However, he is in the final year of his contract, and no club will want to pay over the odds for him. It will be interesting to see if the two clubs can finalise a reasonable deal.
