According to rumors, Feyenoord defender Lutsharel Geertruida is willing to pursue a transfer if Liverpool makes a bid for him this summer.
The Reds are in for a summer of change, with Jurgen Klopp departing Anfield at the conclusion of the season to take a sabbatical from football.
According to widespread speculations, Feyenoord manager Arne Slot will take over as Liverpool manager, with the club currently preparing for the summer transfer season.
Michael Edwards has returned as FSG’s football CEO, while Richard Hughes has joined the Reds as sports director, having previously worked at Bournemouth.
Slot is unlikely to be involved in recruitment directly, but he may propose his own players, such Feyenoord’s Geertruida.
According to transfer source Dean Jones, the £25 million-rated Dutchman would certainly “push” for a move to Liverpool or another elite club this summer if an offer was made.
Jones told GiveMeSport: “The fact that he was at Liverpool’s game against West Ham has definitely set tongues spinning, and it is easy to draw the dots to infer he is coming to Liverpool by following Slot.
“At this point, that would be about four steps ahead because I believe he was at the game on his own time, but others I’ve spoken with in the Netherlands say it wouldn’t be surprising if he was pushing for a move like that because he is very ambitious.
“One of the nice things about him as a defender is his adaptability, and one of the encouraging things about him as a transfer target is that he does not command a high market price. He might be signed for roughly £25 million, so keep a watch on him.”
According to The Sun, Darwin Nunez, who has been chastised for his terrible finishing record this season, is a surprise target for Barcelona in a summer of significant upheaval at the Nou Camp.
Barcelona is considering a move for the Uruguayan to replace Robert Lewandowski, with The Sun reporting that ‘Nunez is among the best paid at Liverpool, but he is on approximately a fourth of the Polish forward’s salary, which puts him well within Barcelona’s reach.’
Liverpool ‘are willing to do business’ with Barcelona, who are certain the Reds ‘will sell the misfiring star’ in a’shock’ summer deal.
According to the article, Nunez is content at Anfield and has no desire to leave. However, South American reports say that the prospect of playing for the Spanish giants appeals to him.
