Anderlecht would find it difficult to reject reasonable offers made by Liverpool to sign talented goalkeeper Bart Verbruggen.
That’s according to Voetbal Nieuws, who have been reporting on the Reds’ interest in the 20-year-old shot-stopper.
As per the report, the Belgian club are aiming to secure a similar amount to the £11.5m they got from Manchester City for defender Sergio Gomez last summer.
Anderlecht would like to keep the goalkeeper, but it is thought that lucrative offers would be difficult to refuse.
Voetbal Nieuws suggest that even ‘sufficient bids’ would be hard to reject, and the club could be likely to ‘cash in’.
According to Belgian outlet Het Laatste Nieuws, Verbruggen’s displays have recently caught the eye of the Reds.
Liverpool interested in Verbruggen
With Adrian out of contract this summer and with Caoimhin Kelleher likely to look for regular playing time elsewhere, Liverpool will need to bring in an extra goalkeeper to deputise for Alisson Becker.
Therefore, Verbruggen – who is deemed one of the most promising young keepers in all of Europe – would be a fantastic option for the Reds.
At just 20 years old, the shot-stopper has already been called up to the Netherlands national team, having excelled with Anderlecht this term.
As per SofaScore match ratings, the Dutchman has been the European giants’ best player in the league this season, having averaged an impressive 7.26 rating.
Hailed by Anderlecht goalkeeping coach Frank Boeckx as an ‘exceptional’ player, Liverpool would certainly be happy adding the youngster to their ranks.
However, this will all depend on whether Kelleher leaves the club or not.
