Liverpool rocked by mammoth asking price for attacker

Liverpool are poised to win the Premier League soon, but the club are keen to get going on recruitment before the end of the season. The Reds want to bring in fresh talent for the wide forward areas, but the fees being quoted for some of their targets are borderline ridiculous.

Arne Slot wants to freshen up the forward line with young and energetic wide attackers who can play alongside Mo Salah, who signed a new two-year contract.

Apart from a new number 9, the Liverpool manager also wants to bring in wide forwards, and the club have been tracking several names ahead of the summer transfer window.

Liverpool do not want to pay silly money for any players, but it has been claimed that the price for one of their targets has continued to rise as we close in on the end of the season.

Can you name the team Liverpool sold these players to?

Club-record fee demanded for wide attacker

Antoine Semenyo has been attracting the eyes of a few of the Premier League’s elites with his performances for Bournemouth, and he has been linked with a move away from Dean Court.

Liverpool have been keeping tabs on the attacker, and are considering taking him to Anfield as part of their transfer plans.

However, according to GiveMeSport, Bournemouth have rocked Semenyo’s suitors by demanding a club-record fee for his departure.

It has been claimed that the Cherries want a deal worth £70m before they are prepared to sell the wide forward in the next transfer window.

Liverpool have been left shocked by the demands made by Bournemouth, and it seems unlikely they will pay such sums for him in the summer.

Semenyo would likely be the back-up to Salah in the squad, and the Reds would not want to pay such a big fee for a player who would not start regularly.
