Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp could solve his midfield crisis by dropping into the Championship and luring Sheffield United star Sander Berge to Anfield, according to transfer insider Dean Jones. The Reds have already broken a club-record by forking out £85million to acquire Darwin Nunez earlier in the summer window, but there is still time for Klopp to make further adjustments to his squad ahead of Thursday’s 11pm deadline.
According to the Yorkshire Post, Liverpool have joined the race for Berge’s signature and may look to strike a deadline day deal.
The report suggests Sheffield United have already rejected bids from Belgian giants Club Brugge for the 30-cap Norway international, who has a £35million release clause written into his contract.
Berge first headed to English football when the Blades broke their transfer record to complete his £22million capture from Genk two-and-a-half years ago.
