Midfielder Royal Antwerp is a better player for Liverpool to sign.
Barcelona is aware that Premier League teams like Manchester United and Liverpool may be becoming more interested in signing Arthur Vermeeren.
Sport via Sport Witness claims that Barcelona is aware of the increasing attention being shown to 18-year-old target Arthur Vermeeren. Manchester United and Liverpool are both very interested in the Royal Antwerp midfield player.
Following his development, Arthur Vermeeren has left a lasting effect on several clubs. He is still a standout player for Royal Antwerp, a Belgian team that won the league the previous season with him among its best players.
Top teams have had the opportunity to observe him carefully thanks to their participation in the Champions League; Barcelona did so during their match against Royal Antwerp. Since then, the 18-year-old has remained a target of the Catalans, who want to make an approach when the timing is appropriate.
Royal Antwerp are aware of the increasing interest in their midfield player, especially with the variety of teams fighting for Vermeeren. Since Barcelona is continuously aware of the situation, they anticipate that one of those teams will make a play for him.
Royal Antwerp had already told Sporting director Deco of their €20 million asking price. Now, that could have gone up a little because the Belgian team is eager to make about €25 million. According to reports, Barcelona was informed that certain parties may submit significant bids for Vermeeren.
Additionally, Arsenal is thinking about giving Royal Antwerp the €20 million that they requested at the time of the story. Manchester United and Liverpool have shown the most interest from the Premier League.
The two titans of English football have been following Vermeeren for a while and may make an offer during the January transfer window. The 18-year-old midfielder might be added to Jurgen Klopp’s squad as he strengthens the position.
Despite their continuous on-field difficulties, Manchester United could see Vermeeren as a chance.
The Red Devils’ attempt to control their spending and avoid going over budget would also benefit from the pricing point.
Regarding Barcelona, Xavi Hernandez is still eager to finalize a deal for the young Belgian player. Vermeeren is still conscious of their concern. If the Catalans are able to make a bid that Royal Altwerp is happy with, which currently looks improbable, he could prefer a move.
