# Virals: Liverpool reportedly ‘ready’ to make £41million Saul Niguez offer

[Liverpool](https://readliverpoolfc.com/2021/07/27/virals-james-milner-shows-off-during-training-before-mocking-teammate/) are reportedly preparing to launch an offer for Atletico Madrid midfielder [Saul Niguez](https://readliverpoolfc.com/2021/07/26/virals-liverpool-make-contact-with-agent-of-saul-niguez/).

The Spanish midfielder is [up for sale at the Wanda Metropolitano](https://www.teamtalk.com/news/atletico-madrid-president-responds-liverpool-saul-niguez-transfer) and is considered a leading contender to replace Gini Wijnaldum in Jurgen Klopp’s squad.

With strong [competition](https://www.football365.com/news/chelsea-city-contact-agent-of-45m-man-utd-target) from Premier League rivals Manchester United and Chelsea, the Reds are believed to have acted first.

That’s according to a report from [AS (print edition, July 26, page 7)](https://www.pressreader.com/spain/-as-/20210726), as cited by [TRANSFER NEWS FUßBAL](https://twitter.com/FuNewz) on Twitter.

The Spanish publication claims that the fee could meet the demands set by the La Liga champions for the [19-cap](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/saul-niguez/nationalmannschaft/spieler/148928/verein_id/3375) ace.

Despite seemingly becoming surplus to requirements in the capital, Saul played a leading role whilst making [41 appearances](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/saul-niguez/nationalmannschaft/spieler/148928/verein_id/3375) across all competitions last season.

### READ LIVERPOOL VERDICT

Valued at £36million and contracted until 2026 ([Transfermarkt](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/saul-niguez/marktwertverlauf/spieler/148928)), should Liverpool land the energetic midfielder for £41million it would have to be viewed as a worthwhile expenditure.

Possessing [incredible versatility](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/saul-niguez/leistungsdaten/spieler/148928) and an [injury record](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/saul-niguez/verletzungen/spieler/148928) to match the departed Wijnaldum’s, the Spaniard would be the ideal solution in many ways.

Saul boasts a [plethora of attributes](https://www.whoscored.com/Players/112161/Show/Sa%C3%BAl-%C3%91%C3%ADguez) that would endear Klopp to the signing as well as vast experience at the elite level.

As speculation rumbles on, Kopites will hope this is [Thiago 2.0](https://www.express.co.uk/sport/football/1337287/Thiago-Alcantara-Liverpool-transfer-news-Jurgen-Klopp-Man-Utd) and eventually, their man arrives.
