Liverpool have held several meetings with £42m player who's 'one of the best' in Europe - Romano
What a signing he'd be...????
According to a recent report, Liverpool have held talks with representatives of ‘one of the best’ midfielders in Europe.
The Arne Slot era has begun as he looks to assemble a squad capable of winning the Premier League title.
It’ll be a tough task following in the footsteps of Jurgen Klopp but there is great belief around Anfield that he’s the right man.
With that said, he’ll need heavy investment to shape a squad around his system and style of play, so the board must back him.
It seems he’s eager to add a midfielder to his ranks this summer.
Liverpool have held talks with Ederson
According to transfer specialist Fabrizio Romano, via Playback, Liverpool have held several meetings with a representative of Atalanta midfielder Ederson.
Romano added that Liverpool are yet to launch an official proposal for the 24-year-old but having watched him for much of last season, they’re clearly convinced he’s the man they want this summer.
There is an acceptance that a deal will be difficult to strike as Atalanta are reluctant to sell the Brazil international.
Ederson, who is ‘one of the best’ midfielders in Europe per Atalanta’s website, is under contract at the Serie A club until 2027 and has a £42m price tag which will have to be met by any forthcoming suitors.
Ederson statistics
Ederson’s FBref statistics make for very impressive reading so it’s hardly surprising clubs are looking at signing him this summer.
The Brazilian ranks in the top 15 per cent for interceptions per 90 compared to his positional peers across Europe, evincing his terrific defensive know-how.
Further, he sits in the top 19 per cent for progressive passes, amplifying how proficient he is in possession of the ball.
If Liverpool do land his signature this summer, he’d be a really smart pick-up that’d give the midfield much more presence.
