According to Calciomercato, Liverpool and West Ham United would have to pay roughly €40 million to get Dutch defender Perr Schuurs from Serie A club Torino this summer.
The 23-year-old joined Torino last summer and made an immediate impression. He has been an important player for the Serie A club in the last year. It’s no surprise that they’re looking to pay a premium for him.The Dutchman is highly regarded throughout Europe, and if he is signed by Liverpool or West Ham United, he has the potential to develop into a world-class ball-playing defense. The Reds need defense reinforcements this summer and have already failed in their attempt to recruit Schuurs.
Last season, players like Joe Gomez and Joel Matip were lackluster. Meanwhile, Ibrahima Konate and Virgil van Dijk are the club’s sole dependable defenders. As a result, Jurgen Klopp must bring in additional quality at the back.The chance to reunite with his compatriot at the club level could be enticing for the 23-year-old defender. It remains to be seen whether van Dijk and Cody Gakpo can influence the talented young defender’s decision-making.Both Liverpool and West Ham have the financial resources to pay the rumored €40 million asking price, and how the issue develops remains to be seen. Meanwhile, West Ham’s defense was fairly susceptible last season, and David Moyes has to find a good partner for Nayef Aguerd.
The Dutch defense and the Moroccan international might establish an effective pairing next season. The chance to demonstrate his abilities in the Premier League will be an intriguing choice for the player, and he will hope that the teams can reach an agreement fast.
West Ham will compete in the UEFA Europa League next season, and they will need a stronger defensive unit to compete in Europe. Someone like Schuurs will undoubtedly assist them in tightening things at the back. Meanwhile, Liverpool had a dismal 2022/23 season and will be looking to rebound strongly and fight for the league crown once moreIt will be fascinating to watch which of the two English clubs can reach an agreement with Torino in the coming weeks. Despite the €40 million asking price, the 23-year-old has the ability to justify the investment in the future seasons.
