James Milner, Naby Keita, and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain left the team when their contracts expired, while Jordan Henderson and Fabinho moved to Saudi Arabia. Liverpool, which has undergone a major reshuffling of its midfield personnel, is also hot on the trail of its center backs.
While various names are being reported in the media, the top target is England U-21 defender Levi Colwill, who may not get the opportunity to play for Chelsea. He is a left-handed center back, as hoped, and would add a different spice to the current team.
According to Toro.it, the club continues to be keen on Torino defender Perr Schuurs, who has been the subject of interest from Liverpool since the beginning of the season. Crystal Palace have also shown interest in the player.
The former Dutch U-21 center back, who moved to Serie A from Ajax last summer and is under contract with the Italian club until 2026, is expected to cost €40 million to sign.
Last season, his first year with the club, he played 30 games in the domestic league. He is tall enough to repel the attacks of his opponents, but also has the foot technique and passing ability required of a center back in recent years, and is a player who could be selected for the Dutch national team at any time.
However, he is a right-handed center back, which is not what Liverpool wants, and it is unlikely that they will pay €40 million to get serious about the former Ajax defender at this time.
As expected, they should continue their relentless pursuit of left-handers, and even if they miss out on Colwill, they should turn their attention to a different player.
A move to Crystal Palace is conceivable, as he has the ability to play well in the Premier League; he will only be with the club for one year and will be challenging England for the first time!
