Jose Enrique has claimed that Liverpool are getting a ‘good price’ for Neco Williams ahead of his rumoured exit, as he posted on his Instagram story.
Towards the second half of last season, Williams was on-loan at Fulham, who he helped, not just earn promotion to the Premier League, but free-score their way to the Championship title.
But it’s not that newly-promoted side that Williams will be signing for, it’s Nottingham Forest who return after over two decades.
Steve Cooper’s side had s season to remember as they went from being bottom of the league under Chris Hughton in September to winning the play-offs against Huddersfield at Wembley.
Now, the Midlands side have seemingly agreed on a £17 million fee with Liverpool for their versatile full-back (BBC Sport), whose preference is to play on the right side.
Upon hearing those rumours, Enrique posted the following message on his IG story.
“I believe this is a good price,” said Enrique. “And we have cover at right-back with Trent (Alexander-Arnold) and (Calvin) Ramsay.”
LIVERPOOL DOING WONDERS IN THE TRANSFER MARKET AGAIN
Over the years, the Reds have been known to be able to muster those extra few millions out of their players that probably aren’t worth that price in the market.
Williams has hardly been a regular for Liverpool, he only has 13 Premier League games to his name, yet he is being sold for £17 million.
Compare that with someone like Matt Targett, who is an experienced Premier League player and was one of Newcastle’s best players whilst on loan at the club last season.
He was sold from Villa to Newcastle for £15 million (BBC Sport), which just goes to show how well Liverpool have done.
