Liverpool target PSG midfielder as replacement for Juventus signing Emre Can

11 lug 2018

According to reports from British tabloid newspaper The Sun, Liverpool are interested in signing Poland and Paris Saint-Germain midfielder Grzegorz Krychowiak. Krychowiak, 28, was on loan at West Bromwich Albion last season, yet, with the midlands side relegated to the EFL Championship – he will definitely not be on the books at the Hawthorns next season.

Liverpool and Jurgen Klopp recently lost German centre-midfielder Emre Can to Juventus on a free transfer and, thus, the side are lining up the Poland star as a potential replacement. Krychowiak starred for Poland at the 2018 FIFA World Cup but will want to put it behind him as the team exited in the Group Stages; culminating with a win over Japan to save face.

Krychowiak was signed by new Arsenal head-coach Unai Emery for PSG in 2016; for around €30 million – yet he has no intention of returning to Paris, where he would likely occupy a permanent space on the bench.
