Liverpool
are pushing for the signing of Sheikh Ducoure.
Liverpool’s transfer policy this summer has been clear. Reinforcing only the parts that are really necessary. Manager Jurgen Klopp thought the position was ‘midfield’.메이저사이트
The midfield has changed. James Milner, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, and Navi Keita all left the team, and Fabinho and Jordan Henderson, who led the team in its heyday, also headed to Saudi Arabia. To replace them, Liverpool had made Jude Bellingham their first target, but withdrew their interest due to the rising value of rival signings from Real Madrid and Manchester City. Instead, they brought in Alexis McAllister, the ace of Brighton, and formed a new midfield triangle by recruiting Dominique Soboslei and Endo Wataru.
Liverpool’s ambitions to strengthen their midfield are far from over. The fourth recruitment is being promoted, and the target is ‘another’ central midfielder.
The main character is Doucure of the Crystal Palace. Doucoure, who joined Palace in the 2022-23 season, appeared in 34 league games and posted 3 assists, showing the appearance of adapting to the league right away. British media ‘Talk Sports’ reported that “Liverpool have selected Ducoure as a replacement for Henderson.”
His physical abilities are outstanding. He has a solid physical body of 180cm and shows vigorous activity and excellent athletic ability as he is from Africa. He is a box-to-box type of midfielder who moves diligently on both sides of the offense and defense, and is also good at breaking the ball through active pressing and linking it directly to the attack.
Of course, Palace are not willing to let him go easily. According to ‘Talk Sports’, Palace is said to want at least £70 million (approximately 116.8 billion won) for Ducoure’s transfer fee.
It’s a burdensome amount, but Liverpool didn’t give up. British media ‘Football Insider’ revealed that Liverpool are ready to do their best to sign Ducoure.
