Liverpool yet to make an offer for Doucoure

The 23 year-old defensive midfielder has been a rock foꦕr Crystal Palace and he would definitely be a 𒀰top solution to Liverpool’s problems.

With him having four years left on hꦉis deal at Palace, you can see why the player, who is key for the Eagles, has such a high valuation.

Doucoure has been happy with Palace, but it is always ♉hard to keep a player when a big club like Liverpool come along.

Liver🐬pool need a defensive midfielder sooner rather than later. They lacked that quality against Chelsea but hopefully they can improve when they add more quality.

They need to act quickly so that they do not fall behind to teams like Manchester City early on in the neﷺw Premier League season.

Whether Doucoure is the right man is not known right 𒐪now, but they definitely have identified a good target to replace Fabinho.
