Crystal Palace make ‘most interesting’ offer for signing – Eagles proposal €8m short of club’s demand

On July 14th, Tuttosport reported Crystal Palace have an agreement in principle with Perr Schuurs and need to agree a deal with Torino to sign him in the summer window.

The defender is now training with the Serie A side, leaving his agent and his employer to take care of his future. Today’s Tuttosport states he’s willing to continue with the Turin club if they don’t receive an acceptable offer.

It’s said that at the moment, the ‘most interesting and intriguing proposal’ is from Crystal Palace.

The report states the Eagles have offered €32m but this is still €8m short of the fee requested by Torino chairman Urbano Cairo.

The two clubs are ‘distant’ but the talks between them could ‘reopen’ once Roy Hodgson’s side cash in from Joachim Andersen in this window.

Liverpool and Napoli have also looked at the centre-back but are behind the London club.

Tuttosport explain that Crystal Palace are the ones to have ‘advanced economically’ for this operation.

There’s still six weeks left in this window and the newspaper states Torino, for now, are not willing to allow Schuurs to leave for less than €40m.

Liverpool fans will be well aware that this summer’s transfer window is likely to continue to see us linked with several midfielders, as we look to replace Fabinho and/or Jordan Henderson.

We now have an update on one reported target, thanks to Football Insider: ‘Crystal Palace will demand a fee well in excess of £35million to part with Liverpool target Cheick Doucoure this summer’.

After Paul Gorst had also confirmed interest in the Crystal Palace man, to now see a fee being set for his services certainly seems to suggest there could be some attraction to the player.

Cheick Doucoure would be an interesting option for the squad as we need a player who can slot immediately into our starting line-up, with the start of the new campaign less than a month away.

Jurgen Klopp will also be wondering who will be in the No.6 role for our opening game against Chelsea, such is the level of uncertainty around our squad at this current moment.

We really need to know if the two midfielders who seem to be wanting a move to Saudi Arabia will actually go there, so we can properly plan for the future.

However, seeing as links to players such as the 23-year-old are growing stronger, it seems that we are planning for the future already.
