Liverpool are plotting to steal Belgium’s “new Eden Hazard” Zakaria Bakkali. The 18 year old is almost out of contract at PSV Eindhoven and according to reports in Holland, he has no interest in a contract renewal.
PSV would rather sell the talented youngster in the remaining weeks of the transfer window, with Italian outlets claiming that Liverpool have made an offer for the highly rated Belgian.
Eintracht Frankfurt and Spanish champions Atletico Madrid are also believed to have offers awaiting for Bakkali, along with Italian giants Juventus, AC Milan and Inter Milan.
However, Arsene Wenger has also shown an interest in the youngster, and looks to make a late bid in order to acquire his services before Arsenal’s fight for the Premier League title begins.
PSV technical director Marcel Brands has admitted that he will listen to offers for Bakkali if there comes a time that the Belgian wants to leave.
Brands stated: “Whether Bakkali chooses to stay with us or a transfer, it is now clear what he must do.
“He can still extend his contract with us and then if he chooses to increase his efforts for PSV, with his heart and soul, that’s fine.
“If he chooses a transfer, I am also at peace with it.”
