Liverpool join race to sign Manchester United target as they step up plans to strengthen their midfield this summer.
Liverpool Eying United Target Douglas Luiz
After lifting the Premier League trophy last season, Liverpool are making headlines once again. This time for their moves in the transfer market. New head coach Arne Slot is wasting no time in making his mark on the team.
Former boss Jurgen Klopp often pointed fingers at heavy spending in the league. But, Slot seems more focused on results than complaints. The Reds already stunned many by snapping up Florian Wirtz from Bayer Leverkusen in a £116m record-breaking deal. Now, they are chasing Newcastle’s Alexander Isak with a reported £120m bid.
But it’s not just about attacking firepower. Slot knows the heart of the team lies in midfield. So, he wants someone who can control the game from the midfield.
Premier League clubs circle as Luiz’s Juve chapter ends
Liverpool have focused their efforts on Juventus‘ Douglas Luiz, as per CaughtOffside. Luiz joined the Serie A giants after looking good in the PL at Aston Villa. But, reports are suggesting things have soured between him and the club.
Juve are reportedly open to letting him leave for around €40m. The Brazilian’s experience in the English top flight makes him an appealing.
Meanwhile, Manchester United have been monitoring him closely as ewll. West Ham and Everton are also said to be interested. This is making it a full-blown race among PL sides.
Slot wants someone who already knows the speed and intensity of English football. Douglas Luiz fits the bill. There are several teams interested in him so it’s uncertain who will sign the 27-year-old during this summer window. However, one thing is clear, Slot’s Liverpool are serious about building a squad that can stay on top for years to come.
