# Virals: Liverpool ‘enquire’ over Sampdoria star Mikkel Damsgaard

[Liverpool](https://readliverpoolfc.com/2021/08/03/virals-jonathan-david-very-high-on-liverpool-shortlist/) have reportedly made an enquiry regarding the availability of Sampdoria attacking midfielder [Mikkel Damsgaard](https://readliverpoolfc.com/2021/07/12/liverpool-damsgaard-price-tag/).

The Reds are believed to be interested in the 21-year-old Dane as Jurgen Klopp attempts to reinforce the [squad](https://www.liverpoolfc.com/team/first-team) ahead of the new Premier League season.

Damsgaard [came to the fore](https://www.sofascore.com/player/damsgaard-mikkel/907072) for Denmark during the recent European Championships and scored a stunning free-kick as the nation ultimately went out against England.

According to [Sport Mediaset](https://www.sportmediaset.mediaset.it/mercato/sampdoria-asta-in-premier-per-damsgaard_36287119-202102k.shtml), as cited by [LFC Transfer Room](https://twitter.com/LFCTransferRoom/status/1422275611096240138) on Twitter, those performances have caught the attention of Anfield officials and have led to contact being made.

The report claims that if a bid arrives for the [eight-cap starlet](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/mikkel-damsgaard/nationalmannschaft/spieler/540941/verein_id/3436) matching a £30million valuation then negotiations can take off.

Damsgaard [scored twice and added four assists](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/mikkel-damsgaard/leistungsdatendetails/spieler/540941) in 35 Serie A outings last season following a summer switch from Nordsjaelland.

### READ LIVERPOOL VERDICT

Valued at £18million and under contract until 2024 in Italy ([Transfermarkt](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/mikkel-damsgaard/marktwertverlauf/spieler/540941)), the mooted £30million asking price would represent a fair deal for all parties.

Whilst it’s unlike the Reds to act on the back of a small sample size such as a major tournament, Damsgaard has shown proven quality and [would have plenty of offer](https://breakingthelines.com/player-analysis/player-analysis-mikel-damsgaard/) within Klopp’s squad.

An [incredibly versatile operator](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/mikkel-damsgaard/leistungsdaten/spieler/540941) the Danish youngster could act as cover for numerous members of the current ranks as well as vying for a starting role almost immediately.

Having already [raised over £30million](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/fc-liverpool/alletransfers/verein/31) in player sales this summer, spending those funds on Damsgaard would be a shrewd move.
