Liverpool eye Kees Smit ahead of transfer

Liverpool are continuing to monitor Dutch midfielder Kees Smit from AZ Alkmaar, with a potential move being considered in the near future, valued at around €60 million.

According to CaughtOffside, Liverpool officials were present at the match between Alkmaar and Sunderland in the Europa League to closely monitor Kees Smit. The match ended with his team losing by a goal to nil.

Liverpool are not the only club interested in the player, as Smit is also attracting attention from Manchester United and Chelsea. Meanwhile, TEAMtalk has indicated that his value could reach around €60 million, with several Premier League clubs continuing to monitor him.

Liverpool's interest in Kees Smit comes as the club aims to bolster their midfield, following a summer transfer window that saw limited movement in this area, alongside the team's links to player Adam Wharton, who is also attracting interest from Chelsea.

Kees Smit is linked to uncertainty regarding Alexis Mac Allister's future, as the Argentine midfielder recently spoke about not receiving a new offer from Liverpool, opening the door for the possibility of strengthening the team in this position.
