After Nottingham Forest failed to sign Ibrahim Sangare, Jurgen Klopp’s Liverpool are now being linked with the PSV defensive midfielder.
According to ESPN Netherlands, Liverpool are interested in signing Ibrahim Sangare from PSV in the summer transfer window.
The report has claimed that Bayern Munich and Paris Saint-Germain are also interested in securing the services of Sangare.
Nottingham Forest have had a bid for the 25-year-old defensive midfielder already turned down, according to the report.
ESPN Netherlands has added that there is a release clause of €37 million (£32 million) in Sangare’s contract at PSV.
Aad de Mos is a former Ajax and PSV manager, and ESPN Netherlands has quoted him as saying that Sangare is a “rare” player.
De Mos said: “He would be a great player for the Premier League.
“For a team that plays offensively, he is always the link you put down first to make the rest function. That’s rare.”
PSV midfielder Ibrahim Sangare would be a good signing for Liverpool
In our view, PSV defensive midfielder Ibrahim Sangare would be a good signing for Liverpool in the summer transfer window.
First of all, a transfer fee of €37 million (£32 million) is not a lot for a player who is 25 and has done well over the years.
Sangare starred for Toulouse in France and now he is a big player for PSV in the Eredivisie.
The 25-year-old has also played 31 times for the Ivory Coast national football team.
Secondly, Bayern Munich and Paris Saint-Germain are also keen on Sangare.
It shows just how highly he is rated in the footballing community.
Bayern and PSG are two of the biggest clubs in the world, and they would not take an interest in an average player.
Although Sangare is a defensive midfielder, he can drive forward and score goals.
Sangare made 26 starts and three substitute appearances in the Eredivisie last season.
The PSV star scored five goals and gave one assist in those games.
Sangare also scored one goal and provided one assist in six UEFA Europa League matches for PSV last season.
