# Virals: Liverpool target Sander Berge reportedly available for £10.3m

Reported [Liverpool](https://readliverpoolfc.com/2021/06/25/virals-liverpool-midfielder-james-milner-begins-pre-season/) target [Sander Berge](https://readliverpoolfc.com/2021/06/23/virals-liverpool-retain-interest-in-35million-rated-sander-berge/) could be available for a major cut-price fee this summer.

Credited with interest earlier this year, the Reds have tentatively been [linked](https://www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/liverpool-sander-berge-jurgen-klopp-20215175) with the Sheffield United central midfielder on multiple occasions.

The 24 year old Norwegian [missed a majority of the 2020/21 campaign](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/sander-berge/verletzungen/spieler/333014) after undergoing surgery to a hamstring tendon injury.

Previously [touted](https://www.caughtoffside.com/2021/03/26/asking-price-set-liverpool-and-arsenal-will-need-to-pay-35m-to-sign-premier-league-star-this-summer/) as demanding a fee in the region of £35millon for their star, recent relegation from the Premier League may have altered the parameters.

Now, according to a report from [Gazzetta dello Sport](https://www.gazzetta.it/), as cited by [Sport Witness](https://twitter.com/Sport_Witness/status/1408349519973081090) on Twitter, the Blades are believed to be asking €12million (£10.3million) to do business.

Albeit the report makes no mention of a renewed interest from the Reds, instead focussing on the [pursuit from Napoli](https://www.thestar.co.uk/sport/football/sheffield-united/sheffield-united-set-to-hand-arsenal-and-napoli-an-ultimatum-about-sander-berge-3284129), at the mooted asking price there could well be a change in stance.

Berge only managed 16 appearances in all competitions last term – earning an average [Sofascore rating of 7.2](https://www.sofascore.com/player/sander-berge/793167) in a goalscoring display in defeat at Anfield.

### READ LIVERPOOL VERDICT

Valued at £16.2million and under contract until 2024 at Bramall Lane ([Transfermarkt](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/sander-berge/marktwertverlauf/spieler/333014)), ability-wise the Norway ace would be a bargain at the proposed fee.

Capable of playing both as a[box to box central midfielder and defensive midfielder](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/sander-berge/leistungsdatendetails/spieler/333014), the [24-cap](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/sander-berge/nationalmannschaft/spieler/333014/verein_id/3440) international would be a positional replacement for Gini Wijnaldum.

Were assurances in place over the recent injury and future issues, Jurgen Klopp could land a player he [admires](https://bleacherreport.com/articles/2861528-sander-berge-welcomes-wonderful-praise-from-liverpool-manager-jurgen-klopp) for an incredible price – thus allowing strengthening to continue elsewhere.
