Liverpool are ‘eyeing’ Luka Sucic ahead of the summer window, Jacque Talbot reported online, after Jurgen Klopp ‘was interested in him’.
The reliable reporter, who first broke the news of the Reds’ interest in Darwin Nunez last year, confirmed that the player’s release clause is understood to be “around 15-20 million euros”. [£13.2 -17.6m]’.
“We hear the player’s release clause is around €15-20m so it would be a pretty low fee if Liverpool brought him in,” the FootballTransfers journalist revealed in a Twitter update.
“He can play a variety of roles in the midfield position, either as a 6 or 8. Even as a 10.
“He has his fair share of goals in his game – nine goals in just under 60 games for Salzburg.”
The Merseysiders are known to be particularly keen on bringing Jude Bellingham to Anfield in the summer, although a heartbreaking defeat suffered yesterday at the hands of European rivals Real Madrid may have highlighted a greater rot at the club than needs to be addressed.

Assuming our recruiting team has been keeping a close eye on the Croat, a fee of €15-20m should be considered particularly attractive given the amount of funding the potential signing of the aforementioned Borussia Dortmund prodigy will require.
At 20, of course, Sucic would represent a comparatively rawer addition to the coming of age of the likes of Mason Mount or Matheus Nunes, who have also enjoyed links to Merseyside.
With the dynamism and energy levels often associated with a peak Klopp team found lacking in the current term, the introduction of a fresh pair of legs surely can’t hurt our chances of restoring intensity in the middle of the park.
Stefan Bajcetic’s (18) breakout season would certainly add weight to that theory.
