According to Football Insider, The Kop can own Crystal Palace’s talented midfielder if it meets the required fee.
This summer, Liverpool plan to improve midfield after the departure of a series of important pillars. The Kop have recruited Alexis Mac Allister, Dominik Szoboszlai and the latest Wataru Endo , but coach Jurgen Klopp still needs more staff in the middle.
The Palace midfielder is targeted by Liverpool.
Although there is no doubt about the ability of the Japanese rookie, the Liverpool leadership seems to want to bring back Anfield at least one more defensive midfielder. And one of the names that is interested by the Red Brigade at the moment is Crystal Palace’s Cheick Doucoure.
The 23-year-old “Sweeper” has made a convincing Premier League debut after moving to Selhurst Park from Lens for £21m last summer. Considered the Eagles Player of the Year, Doucoure quickly caught the attention of many big teams when the transfer window opened.
According to Football Insider, Liverpool have received great encouragement about this quality goal. Reports from the beginning of the week revealed that the Malian midfielder has made it clear that he wants to move to Anfield. At this time, the above source claims that Palace have just informed The Kop that they can reach an agreement for Doucoure for £ 70 million .
It is known that in addition to Doucoure, Liverpool are also eyeing a number of other targets such as Ryan Gravenberch of Bayern Munich and Sofyan Amrabat of Fiorentina.
