According to De Telegraaf, Liverpool have made a last-ditch attempt to hijack Brighton & Hove Albion’s £25 million deal for Feyenoord star Mats Wieffer.
The Reds are looking to bolster several positions in the squad under new manager Arne Slot.
Defensive midfield is one of those positions despite the Merseysiders having Wataru Endo in their ranks.
Wieffer, who played under Slot at Feyenoord, has become a target for the Reds.
They have reportedly submitted an offer, which could be too late.
As per the aforementioned source, the Eredivisie club have already agreed on a deal with Brighton.
Feyenoord general manager Dennis te Kloese is reportedly staying in England to finalize the details of the player’s move to The Seagulls.
Wieffer joined Feyenoord in 2022 and has so far made 79 appearances for the club, scoring nine goals and providing 11 assists.
Wieffer broke into the Netherlands national team in 2023 and was also a part of the Euro 2024 squad before suffering an injury.
Liverpool’s interest in the 24-year-old defensive midfielder might have been too late as he looks all set to move to Brighton.
