Liverpool are reportedly set to launch a €100 million bid for Barcelona duo Fermin Lopez and Andreas Christensen, IsaGoal can report, as new manager Arne Slot looks to reshape his squad.
According to Fichajes, Liverpool see both players as perfect fits for the Premier League and are confident their offer—€80 million for Fermin and €20 million for Christensen—will force Barcelona to consider a sale.
Fermin, 22, has drawn major attention for his versatility, maturity, and ability to perform under pressure.
Despite Hansi Flick’s desire to keep him at Camp Nou, Barcelona’s overloaded midfield means the young Spaniard could struggle for consistent game time next season.
Slot believes Fermin’s high energy and ball-carrying abilities would thrive in English football and sees him as a long-term solution in midfield.
Meanwhile, Christensen’s situation also makes him a prime target.
The Danish centre-back, though reliable when fit, has seen limited action due to injuries and has just one year left on his current contract.
Liverpool are keen to bolster their defensive depth and believe Christensen’s composure, vision, and ball-playing style fit Slot’s tactical blueprint perfectly.
Barcelona now face a major decision.
Selling the pair would provide a significant financial boost at a time when the club is under pressure to balance the books.
Interestingly, Liverpool’s openness to deal could also pave the way for a potential transfer involving Luis Diaz, Barcelona’s top attacking target, who is seen as a guaranteed starter if signed.
