According to rumours, Liverpool is planning to increase their bid for FC Barcelona and Denmark center-back Andreas Christensen in the coming days.
This summer, Liverpool has prioritised the acquisition of new midfielders. After spending Ł95 million to get Alexis MacAllister and Dominik Szoboszlai, they are currently hoping to sign Southampton's Romeo Lavia.
Jurgen Klopp, on the other hand, is aiming to bolster his defensive. The head coach is allegedly looking for a new right back and centre back.
Christensen previously had a successful Premier League career at Chelsea. He made 161 appearances for Chelsea and helped them win the Champions League, Europa League, and FA Cup.
The 27-year-old joined Barcelona on a free transfer last summer, but he has been linked with a return to the Premier League for next season. Man United were said to be mulling a bid for the experienced defender back in May.
According to the Spanish newspaper Nacional, a new center-back is being sought as a result of Klopp's "personal request."
According to the report, the Barcelona hierarchy 'quickly rejected' Liverpool's opening bid of €30 million for Christensen.
Liverpool intends to 'try their luck again,' raising their offer to €50 million. According to reports, this fresh offer will be filed "in the coming days."
The English club is thought to be hopeful that this latest proposal will persuade Barcelona to'sacrifice' Christensen and other players.
