# Liverpool join race to sign Michy Batshuayi

Liverpool have joined a number of clubs in the race to sign Marseille striker Michy Batshuayi in the summer, according to a report from Adrian Kajumba of [the Mirror](https://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/liverpool-target-michy-batshuayi-chase-7782891).

Batshuayi has been linked with moves to a number of different clubs including Juventus, Tottenham and West Ham United and will reportedly be available for around £30m.

West Ham manager Slaven Bilic had [planned to meet](https://readwestham.com/2016/03/30/bilic-plans-to-meet-with-michy-batshuayi-to-discuss-move/) with Batshuayi and his representatives during the international break but those plans were halted by the terror attacks in Belgium which saw their friendly game moved to Portugal.

However, the striker has not formally agreed to join any club in the summer so Liverpool will have the chance to persuade him to move to Anfield if they can negotiate a fee with Marseille.

Batshuayi has scored 20 goals is 45 games for Marseille this season, so it is no surprise that a number of clubs are interested in him.
