Liverpool ready shock €100m bid for ‘world class’ centre-back

Virgil van Dijk is on the verge of signing a new two-year contract with Liverpool, but the Reds remain in the market for a defender. The club want to secure a top-class replacement for the Dutchman before it’s time for him to leave, and it seems they are willing to invest big sums to land a new defender.

Liverpool will win the Premier League title this season unless something catastrophic happens, but Arne Slot wants to radically reshape the squad in the summer.

Van Dijk will soon extend his terms with the club, which will come as a huge relief at Anfield, but Liverpool still want to plan forward and bring in a centre-back of class and stature.

Ibrahima Konate’s massive wage demands for a new contract have forced to club to look for a new centre-back, and it has been claimed they are prepared to spend big money to sign another defender.

Liverpool prepare massive bid for a Barcelona star

According to Spanish outlet Fichajes, Barcelona’s Ronald Araujo has emerged as the top target for Liverpool ahead of the summer transfer window.

The centre-back is having a stellar season in a Barcelona side who are the favourites to win the Champions League and La Liga this season.

However, Liverpool want to snare the Uruguayan away from the Nou Camp and are ready to offer Barcelona a massive sum of €100m for Araujo in the summer transfer window.

The Catalan giants do not want to sell the centre-back, but a bid of that size will definitely make them think, especially because of their financial issues.

Araujo is happy at Barcelona, but is open to the idea of taking up a new challenge in the Premier League at a club of Liverpool’s stature.

For now, no decision has been made, but things could move quickly in the summer if Liverpool table a big offer for him.
