According to reports from Italy, Liverpool is leading Genoa’s star player Morten Frendrup, and the Reds could sign him for a pretty penny.
Wataru Endo, who cost £16 million to acquire, came to the team in the summer. Although some supporters were first unsure of him, he has since settled in and is developing into a very competent no. 6 player.
But now that the combative Japanese star has taken a leave of absence to attend the Asian Cup being hosted in Qatar, Klopp is without him. He might not return for as long as a month, depending on how his nation performs in the competition.
Liverpool is purportedly leading the race to sign a new defensive midfield player, while Mohamed Salah is also heading to the AFCON.
What’s new regarding Liverpool’s intention to sign Morten Frendrup through a transfer?
This month, Jurgen Klopp is more interested in Genoa midfielder Morten Frendrup than he is in N’Golo Kante.
Liverpool is reportedly “in the front row” as Juventus considers signing the 22-year-old, according to a Tutto Sport report.
Given the Reds’ rumored big-money signings of players like Joao Palhinha, Frendrup seems like a good value.
If Klopp thinks the young midfielder will increase his team’s chances of winning trophies, then it might be well worth the over €20 million (£17.2 million) that Genoa would need to let him go this month.
During his tenure at Anfield, the German has completed an impressive number of bargain signings. Is there another deal coming?
