# Virals: Liverpool named among suitors for Mikkel Damsgaard

[Liverpool](https://readliverpoolfc.com/2021/09/28/virals-liverpool-reportedly-leading-jude-bellingham-race/) have once again been named as suitors for Sampdoria attacking midfielder [Mikkel Damsgaard](https://readliverpoolfc.com/2021/08/31/virals-liverpool-consider-late-swoop-for-mikkel-damsgaard/).

The Danish ace was [extensively linked](https://www.juvefc.com/liverpool-considers-late-swoop-for-juventus-target/) with a move to Anfield during the summer following an impressive showing in the European Championships.

Now the 21-year-old has once again been [touted](https://www.dailystar.co.uk/sport/football/liverpool-damsgaard-transfer-line-up-24868577) with a move to Merseyside, although the Reds may face competition from Juventus, AC Milan & Lyon.

That’s according to a report from Spanish outlet [Fichajes](https://www.fichajes.net/noticias/fichajes-liverpool-nuevo-deseo-jurgen-klopp-20210927.html), as cited by [ThinkLFCTV](https://twitter.com/ThinkLFCTV/status/1442596249719525377) on Twitter.

Damsgaard scored twice and provided one assist during the Euros whilst earning an impressive [7.28 Sofascore rating](https://www.sofascore.com/player/damsgaard-mikkel/907072) over the summer.

This season has been a quieter start for the versatile Dane, who is yet to contribute directly to a goal in [seven appearances](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/mikkel-damsgaard/leistungsdaten/spieler/540941) across all competitions.

### READ LIVERPOOL VERDICT

Signing Damsgaard would offer Jurgen Klopp’s [squad](https://www.liverpoolfc.com/team/first-team) a huge boost in flexibility.

Capable of operating [centrally and wide](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/mikkel-damsgaard/leistungsdatendetails/spieler/540941) in both attacking and more conventional midfield positions, the Danish starlet has also played as part of a front three on occasion.

That remarkable versatility and [impressive attributes](https://www.whoscored.com/Players/401168/Show/Mikkel-Damsgaard) would lend itself ideally to Klopp’s ranks.

Valued at £18million and under contract until 2024 ([Transfermarkt](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/mikkel-damsgaard/marktwertverlauf/spieler/540941)), this is a transfer that would fall into the realms of affordability for Liverpool and the lure of Champions League football could sway Damsgaard to Anfield.
