# Liverpool have ‘strong interest’ in January move for Perr Schuurs

Liverpool have ‘strong interest’ in making a move for [Perr Schuurs](https://readliverpoolfc.com/?p=107360) in January, according to [*Calciomercato*](https://www.calciomercato.com/news/inter-e-derby-col-milan-per-schuurs-70705) \[via *[Sport Witness](https://sportwitness.co.uk/liverpool-strong-interest-e30m-rated-dutch-centre-back-following-since-2017/)*\].

The Ajax centre-back is a highly-rated prospect likened to [Matthijs de Ligt](https://inews.co.uk/sport/football/perr-schuurs-liverpool-transfer-news-ajax-defender-matthijs-de-ligt-750612) and he impressed in a recent Champions League clash against the Reds.

Schuurs has already been [linked](https://readliverpoolfc.com/?p=107360) with a move to Liverpool and those rumours are refusing to go away. This latest report states that the Reds see the 20-year-old as a potential January addition as Jurgen Klopp looks to make up for the loss of Virgil van Dijk and Joe Gomez to [long-term injuries](https://www.premierinjuries.com/injury-table.php), with Schalke 04 prospect Ozan Kabak also being [recently linked](https://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/liverpool-open-talks-schalke-over-22899028) with a potential Anfield move.

AC Milan and Inter Milan are also keen on signing the Dutchman, however, with his current valuation set at €30m (£26.8m), but Ajax are reluctant to sell. \[[*Calciomercato*](https://www.calciomercato.com/news/inter-e-derby-col-milan-per-schuurs-70705)\]

### Read Liverpool Verdict

Schuurs really caught the eye against Liverpool, playing with a confidence and maturity well beyond his years. An imposing figure physically, the youngster was also impressive on the ball and has averaged a [91% pass completion rate](https://www.whoscored.com/Players/362732/Show/Perr-Schuurs) in the Eredivisie this season.

Schuurs is still an inexperienced player, however, so if he was being brought in as a regular starter instead of someone like [Dayot Upamecano](https://readliverpoolfc.com/?p=106654), for instance, it could be deemed a risk.

It could be argued that Liverpool need to sign a more established player at centre-back in order to make up for the enormous loss of Van Dijk and Gomez, or sign Schuurs along with another defender.
