Liverpool are reportedly ‘stepping up their pursuit for Crystal Palace midfielder, Cheick Doucoure’ after missing out on Moises Caicedo and Romeo Lavia to Premier League rivals, Chelsea.
As a result of their decisions to sign with the Blues, Jurgen Klopp’s team now lacks defensive midfield alternatives. But the Reds manager appears to have come up with a solution.
The Independent, as reported by Daily Mail claims that Liverpool have intensified their pursuit of the Selhurst Park star.
The report asserts that the Mali international may fetch up to £60 million for the Eagles. He is set to be one of many outgoings for the south London club.
At the beginning of the transfer window, Wilfried Zaha left for Galatasaray upon the expiration of his contract. Michael Olise’s release clause has reportedly been activated by Chelsea. And Eberechi Eze piqued Spurs’ interest.
During the club’s recent rebuild, Doucoure became a leading midfield prospect.
In his first year with the team, Doucoure has emerged as a vital contributor. And with the proper acquisitions, there is hope the Eagles will challenge for at least a top-10 finish in the coming campaign.

Doucoure moved to Selhurst Park from Lens for £18 million last summer. But considering the active midfield transfer market, it’s probable the Eagles will expect more.
The midfielder had a fantastic first season in the Premier League and was just named Crystal Palace F.C. Player of the Year.
