According to Tutto Juve, Liverpool are keen to sign Aaron Ramsey from Juventus this summer as Jürgen Klopp aims to bolster his squad.
Interestingly, the Italian news outlet claim that the Reds can have the 30-year-old for a discounted price.
Juventus are asking for €20 million (£17.2 million) for their No.8.
However, they will sell to Liverpool for just €12 million (£10.3 million).
That would see Klopp given a £6.9 million discount on the 61-cap Wales international.
If this news is true, and Liverpool sign Ramsey for just £10.3 million, it would arguably be one of the biggest bargains of the summer.
The ex-Arsenal man is someone who wouldn’t need much time to settle in to life in England, having spent 11 years with the Gunners.
Additionally, he is a player who has made the Premier League look easy at times.
In 262 Premier League appearances for Arsenal, Ramsey scored 40 goals and provided 46 assists.
He is also a big-game player, having scored the winning goal in two FA Cup finals for Arsenal – first against Hull, then against Chelsea.
Juventus are happy to lower their asking price as they are especially keen to offload Ramsey’s hefty salary from the wage bill.
According to the BBC, the former Cardiff City maestro signed an eye-watering £400,000-a-week contract when he joined Juventus.
Surely, he would have to agree to a reduction on that if he joined Liverpool.
Liverpool’s highest earners, Mohamed Salah and Thiago, are currently on £200,000-a-week.
If Ramsey came in and immediately earned double that amount, Klopp would presumably have some players knocking on his office door.
