Liverpool want Shakhtar Donetsk midfielder Georgiy Sudakov
Liverpool are interested in signing Shakhtar Donetsk midfielder Georgiy Sudakov this summer but face competition from city manaccording to a report by Calciomercato.
The Ukrainian midfielder has been a key player for Shakhtar this season and has contributed to three goals and one assist in all competitions. His performances have attracted the attention of some of the best clubs in Europe.
CalcioMercato He assures that Liverpool are one of the clubs 'interested' in signing the playmaker at the end of the season. However, Manchester City could trigger an “auction” as they are also interested in Sudakov. Barcelona And Bayern Munich also appear as suitors.
As for Shakhtar, they want £43m for the technically talented playmaker, according to the report, but it remains to be seen whether the likes of Liverpool are prepared to meet that valuation.
However, with several clubs vying for his signature, Shakhtar are unlikely to lower their valuation as they will want to sell him to the highest bidder.
Sudakov would improve Liverpool and Man City
Liverpool are missing a quality number ten at the moment and Sudakov could be a solid future investment for them. He is versatile enough to operate as a winger and would add flair, skill and vision in the final third. Playing alongside top players at Liverpool would help him improve even more and reach his potential.
Although Jurgen Klopp He will not be at Liverpool next season, they are still one of the biggest clubs in the world with a formidable squad. If they can bring in a quality manager, they could easily compete for major trophies once again. It would be difficult for Sudakov to turn down the opportunity to join the Reds.
Similarly, Manchester City have a proven track record of competing for major honors and have a world-class manager in Pep Guardiola. They would be an attractive destination for any player so Liverpool will face a battle to sign Sudakov if they formalize their interest.
Sudakov needs to join a club where he will get a lot of playing time. Both clubs can afford the reported asking price and it remains to be seen how the situation develops.
