# Liverpool make offer for Croatia international Vida

Liverpool have joined rivals Everton in the race to sign Croatian international Domagoj Vida from Besiktas.

Turkish journalist Turgay Demir, as cited on [Turkish Football,](https://turkish-football.com/liverpool-make-e15m-bid-for-world-cup-star-domagoj-vida-who-everton-have-also-made-offer-for-e20m-being-demanded-besiktas/) claims that the two clubs have both lodged bids to sign the player this summer.

Suggestions of a €15 million bid from both clubs are being made, but it is believed that the Turkish side are demanding closer to €20 million.

Vida has impressed at this summer’s World Cup in Russia, sparking suggestions that he could be on the move to the Premier League.

Interest in the 29-year-old is said to be growing, with the defender playing a key role in Croatia’s passage to the quarter-finals.

Everton have been heavily linked with a move for the Croatian. There were even [reports](https://readeverton.com/2018/06/29/everton-propose-swap-deal-in-bid-to-land-world-cup-star/) suggesting Davy Klaassen could be used in a potential swap deal with Besiktas.

Liverpool themselves are in the market for a defender, with Jurgen Klopp hoping to add to his squad as he aims to build upon another successful season.
