TEAMtalk Media Group·2021-08-26 10:00

Liverpool made final checks on a Serie A target and will launch a beat-the-deadline bid to sign the forward, Manchester United are being tipped to beat Chelsea to a big-name signing, while Tuesday’s Euro Paper Talk claims Manchester City have the green light to bring one of football’s biggest names.MIKKEL DAMSGAARD ‘SET FOR LIVERPOOL APPROACH’Liverpool are reportedly planning a late transfer window splurge to sign Sampdoria winger Mikkel Damsgaard.The Danish sensation has been on Jurgen Klopp’s radar for some time and furthered his cause with some big displays at Euro 2020.And now the Reds are ready to step up that chase having sent scouts to check on him on Monday night. And it seems a bid could be forthcoming before next Tuesday’s transfer deadline.As per Il Secolo XIX, relayed by Sampnews24.com, Liverpool scouts will have liked what they saw from Damsgaard. He started on the left wing in the match against AC Milan, though was powerless to prevent his side suffering a 1-0 home defeat.Sampdoria will reportedly fight to keep the winger, though a big bid will prove hard to resist. Indeed, previous reports have stated Samp rate the Dane at around the 25m – 30m mark.And that fee is unlikely to deter Klopp, who remains keen to freshen up his attack.The article states that Tottenham also remain keen and there could yet be a bidding war between the two sides.However, Spurs’ priorities appear to be elsewhere, leaving the Reds with a clear run at the 21-year-old.Damsgaard is contracted to Sampdoria until 2024, scoring two goals and adding four assists in 18 Serie A starts last season.RONALDO CLOSING ON MAN CITY TRANSFERManchester City look the most likely suitors for Cristiano Ronaldo with his agent Jorge Mendes under growing pressure to secure his transfer.
