Liverpool ready £34m offer after Jurgen Klopp tells bosses to 'get deal done at any cost'

Liverpool are reportedly readying a £34million offer for Torino centre-back Perr Schuurs. Jurgen Klopp has already welcomed two new midfielders in the form of Alexis Mac Allister and Dominik Szoboszlai this summer and is now looking for a new addition in defence.

The Reds have been heavily linked with Chelsea's Levi Colwill in recent days but Mauricio Pochettino is said to be a huge fan of the England youngster while the club are keen to tie him down a new contract, meaning any deal looks unlikely at present.

The Italian outlet claims that Klopp has wanted the defender, who had a trial for Liverpool when he was just 17, for over two years and has instructed his bosses to get the deal over the line at any cost. At just 23, and able to also play at right-back, Schuurs is an attractive option for Liverpool who have made a habit out of signing younger players on an upwards trajectory.

However, Schuurs struggled to live up to the billing and left the club last year for a fresh start in Italy. And he has made a huge impression since making the move, playing 36 times in his first season as Torino finished 10th in the Serie A table.
