According to the Sheffield Star, Tottenham, Arsenal and Liverpool must pay an eight-figure fee if they’re to take Sander Berge from Bramall Lane.
The report claims that Sheffield United have used CIES Football Observatory’s data to come up with a price tag for the Norwegian.
It is said that Jürgen Klopp, José Mourinho and Mikel Arteta will have to offer something in the region of £30 million – £40 million to sign Berge.
The Sheffield Star do not mention Liverpool’s interest directly like they do for Arsenal and Tottenham.
It was Voetbal24 who said the Reds were ‘absolutely convinced’ by the midfielder.
The Sheffield Star add that the Blades will refuse to budge on that valuation, so it seems like the three Premier League giants will have to get their chequebooks out.
Berge – who earns £32,692-a-week – hasn’t played since December 17th after suffering an injury against Manchester United.
In total, he’s only made 13 Premier League appearances this season.
However, when he has played, Berge has looked assured, physically dominant and a force to be reckoned with in England’s top-flight.
At just 23 years of age, he also has plenty of time on his side to get even better.
Admittedly, it’s a lot to pay for a player from a side set to be relegated.
However, the danger is that Berge helps Sheffield United come straight back up, where it would then be even harder to prise him away, in our view.
