Liverpool Register Interest in Hoffenheim’s Bazoumana Touré as Club Insists on Record Fee
Hoffenheim’s record-price stance tests Liverpool’s plan to refresh the attack after Mohamed Salah’s exit.
Overview
- Liverpool have officially expressed interest in 20-year-old winger Bazoumana Touré, according to Sky Germany reports cited this week.
- Sporting director Andreas Schicker said any sale must reach a level Hoffenheim has not seen before, a line echoed in a Sky Sport interview last Friday.
- Hoffenheim expect a fee above their €43.5m record from Joelinton’s move and hold leverage with Touré under contract until 2029 without a release clause.
- Touré has 14 goal contributions this season and profiles as a two-footed wide option with top dribble success and chance creation from either flank.
- Salah’s planned summer departure makes a winger a priority for Liverpool, and reporting suggests wider competition could grow even though no bids have been confirmed.
