Liverpool keen on £35m ace who impressed in the Premier League last season – originally posted on Sportslens.com
Arsenal have been linked with a move for the Sheffield United midfielder Sander Berge for quite some time now but the Sun are reporting that Liverpool are keen on the Norwegian international as well.
The 23-year-old has been a quality player for the Blades but he is likely to leave them following their relegation to the championship.
Apparently, there is a £35 million release clause in his contract but his suitors are unwilling to fork out that kind of money for the midfielder.
Arsenal midfielder Granit Xhaka has been linked with a move to Roma and it is no surprise that they are looking to bring in a replacement.
Berge has proven himself with Sheffield United in the Premier League and he could prove to be a quality addition to the Gunners’ midfield. Despite his team’s struggles, his performances were impressive.
The 23-year-old has the potential to develop into a quality player and he deserves to play for an ambitious Premier League club.
Meanwhile, Liverpool will need to bring in reinforcements in the midfield as well especially after the departure of Gini Wijnaldum on a free transfer.
The Dutchman joined Paris Saint-Germain and Berge could prove to be a quality alternative. He put in impressive displays against Liverpool last season and Jurgen Klopp will have watched him up close.
It remains to be seen whether the two clubs can convince Sheffield United to lower their asking price for the midfielder in the coming weeks now.
