Liverpool and Newcastle United are both said to be interested in Dutch international defender Perr Schuurs.
The 23-year-old joined Torino at the start of the season and has made an impression for the Italian club.
According to Calciomercato, Liverpool may want to bring him in as a partner for Virgil van Dijk, and Newcastle is also keeping an eye on him.
Schuurs might be a good long-term signing for the two Premier League clubs, and he could build a good relationship with Van Dijk or Sven Botman.
Newcastle’s defensive organization has been remarkable this season, but they will need to develop even more in the coming years. The Magpies are attempting to assemble a quality group capable of competing for big honours.
Liverpool, on the other hand, has had a dismal season and will seek to return to competing for major trophies next year.
Bringing in a quality defender should be their main focus. Joe Gomez and Joel Matip have been disappointing this season, and Jurgen Klopp must look to improve on the two players.
Schuurs could contend with Ibrahima Konate for the starting spot alongside Van Dijk, and he could eventually replace his countryman.
The prospect of playing for Newcastle and Liverpool will be appealing to the player.
Both clubs are vying for Champions League qualifying, and finishing in the top four might help them recruit top-tier players like Schuurs.
The defender joined the Italian club for €9 million and his value has already more than doubled, according to the report. €18 million is still an acceptable amount to pay for a player of his caliber.
