Liverpool are said to be mulling over launching a big-money offer to sign Frenkie de Jong whose future at Barcelona hangs in the balance.
The Holland international midfielder has been subject to serious interest from some of the biggest clubs in England with both Manchester United and Chelsea keen on moving in for his signature this summer.
It is claimed that the Merseyside giants are prepared to table an offer worth £52 million plus a further £7.5 million in add-ons to convince Barcelona on parting ways with the in-demand De Jong and give him the ticket to the Premier League.
According to a report from the Spanish news outlet El Nacional, it is claimed that Liverpool are looking to bring the Barcelona wantaway star to Anfield amid the injury crisis that is currently unfolding in the Liverpool midfield ranks.
Jurgen Klopp’s Reds have lost Thiago Alcantara, Curtis Jones, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain and more recently, Naby Keita, to spells on the sidelines with injury troubles which leaves the Liverpool boss bereft of quality options in the centre of the park.
