da fezbet： Liverpool will send scouts to watch Juventus youngster Francesco Cassata and remained interested in his services after having a January approach knocked back, Italian outlet Ilbianconero report.
What’s the word?
da betsson： It’s been clear by Liverpool’s struggles in 2017 that Jurgen Klopp still has a lot of work to do if he is to push the Reds towards the summit of English football, with the squad at Anfield looking particularly limited when compared to their rivals.
Klopp will look to improve his options in the summer and one target is Juventus youngster Francesco Cassata, with Ilbianconero stating the Reds will send scouts to watch the midfielder in action tonight for Ascoli- where he’s spending the season on-loan.
The 19-year-old is regarded as a star for the future and Juventus have already shown they do not intend to sell, with The Daily Star stating Liverpool saw a £8.5m bid rejected for the teenage talent during the January transfer window.
Would he be an improvement?
The problem for Liverpool is that another young talent isn’t particularly what Jurgen Klopp’s side need this season, as they have plenty of potential but not enough ability to cause problems immediately- with their squad lacking experience and top-class players.
Cassata would hardly be a statement of intent and, having seen £8.5m rejected already, they’d have to pay a high price for the midfielder’s services- and there is the argument that that money could be better off used elsewhere.
