Liverpool should challenge Manchester United for the Inter Milan ace’s signature.
Liverpool boss Jürgen Klopp seems to be on a mission to guide his side to a major trophy this season, having spent close to £180 million already on four new faces.
There is still room for improvement at Anfield, however, especially in the wide attacking department, and Klopp would be wise to bring in another established winger before the start of the new Premier League campaign.
Sadio Mane, Mohamed Salah and Roberto Firmino are a deadly trio, but with just Xherdan Shaqiri and Daniel Sturridge in reserve, Klopp can ill-afford any injuries to his attacking players.
With this in mind, Liverpool should consider a move for £48 million-rated Inter Milan winger ivan Perisic, who has been attracting interest from Manchester United, according to Sky Sports.
The 29-year-old showcased his outstanding ability at the World Cup with Croatia this summer, and he would be a sensational signing for the Reds.
He operates mostly as a left winger, but he can play anywhere along the front-line, and he would provide stiff competition for Liverpool’s wide men.
Klopp loves his wingers to be hard-working and full of energy, and there is no one better in that aspect than Perisic.
In today’s day and age, £48 million for someone with the Croatia international’s quality would actually represent fantastic value for Liverpool, and if they managed to beat United to his signature, it would be a real statement of intent from the Merseyside outfit.
