Liverpool has increased its offer to secure the signing to over £25.7 million.

According to rumours in the Italian media, Liverpool and Torino are nearing a signing agreement for Perr Schuurs.

Tutto Sport claims that the Reds made a £25.7 million opening offer, but the Turin club rejected it.

According to the Italian source, Liverpool has now raised its initial offer over £25.7 million but has not yet matched the asking price of almost £34 million.

According to reports, Napoli made a £24 million deal for Schuurs earlier and had it accepted right away. Much to their relief, the Serie A champions did not follow up on Torino’s “blunder” and instead began considering their options.

Even though the Liverpool club’s initial bid was bigger than that of the Naples-based team, it was still turned down by Torino because they genuinely believe the Reds are wealthy and can afford the £34 million charge, according to Tutto Sport.

Last summer, Jurgen Klopp ‘wanted’ the defender, and he is now ‘insisting’ on his management completing the transaction.

Schuurs has informed his teammates that he could quit Torino, and as a result, the move to England is ‘ever closer’ as he prefers to join the Merseysiders.

As the Italian source has not revealed any rejection, the higher offer is still on the table.

Other Premier League teams like West Ham United and Crystal Palace are also interested, but according to the media outlet, they are much “behind” Liverpool.

At Anfield, a star worth £30 million might be “as good as Levi Colwill.”.

Levil Colwill’s “equally good” replacement could be signed by Liverpool.

Transfer insider Dean Jones told GIVEMESPORT that Liverpool may now try to sign Perr Schuurs rather than Levi Colwill this summer.

Schuurs is likely to be a more practical option than Colwill of Chelsea in Jurgen Klopp’s search for a left-sided center-half.

Perr Schuurs, recent transfers to Liverpool.

The Reds appear to be about to spend big money on a left-sided defender in another summer of big spending at Anfield.

The first new player to join the team was Alexis Mac Allister, a World Cup winner who joined in a £35 million deal from Brighton and Hove Albion (Sky Sports).

This was supported by the £60 million acquisition of Dominik Szoboszlai, who joined the Merseyside-based team from Bundesliga side RB Leipzig earlier this month (Sky Sports).

The central defender Schuurs is the most recent player to be linked with Liverpool, despite the club already having spent close to £100 million overall.

The Europa League rivals are reportedly interested in signing the talented Torino defender this summer, according to an Italian report on Schuurs.

The 23-year-old is reportedly being pursued by Liverpool, Crystal Palace, and West Ham United. A £30 million price tag is reportedly attached to Schuurs’ head.

What has Dean Jones said regarding Liverpool’s interest in Schuurs and Colwill?

Jones, a transfer insider, acknowledged to GIVEMESPORT that Schuurs might be the ideal Colwill substitute should the latter not be a viable option.

According to Jones, Perr Schuurs is one of the top 23-year-old defenders available for signing at the moment.

“He has a profile and potential level that would allow him to be quickly and easily elevated to much higher levels of value.

He has the potential to be just as good as Colwill, and Arsenal, Crystal Palace, and West Ham have all expressed interest in him.
”.

Is Colwill really of interest to Liverpool?

In spite of their interest in Torino’s Schuurs, Liverpool is continuing to pursue Colwill from Chelsea, according to a report by 90min.

Colwill gained attention at the Under-21 European Championships, where he played defense for an England team that went undefeated and won the competition. Colwill is now being linked to a transfer away from Chelsea in search of more playing time.

The 20-year-old spent the previous campaign on loan at Brighton & Hove Albion, and the Sussex club is reportedly eager to bring him back to the Amex Stadium. The Seagulls are reportedly willing to pay £40 million to do so.

It’s difficult to imagine how Colwill will be able to pass up the chance to play for Klopp and company should Liverpool match, or even surpass, the offer made by Brighton to Chelsea.

Although there aren’t many, if any, better options available right now than Schuurs, the Reds will need to replace Colwill as a target if Chelsea holds out for a hefty price or even refuses to sell at all.
