According to a new report from Spanish sports media outlet As, English Premier League giants Liverpool FC are showing strong interest in Sevilla's rising star in defense, Bardet. The move is undoubtedly in response to the declining form of the team's central defender Van Dyk as he ages, and Liverpool are apparently actively looking for a future star who can take over from the legendary Dutch defender.
Bardet, as an important member of Sevilla's backline, has gradually made his mark in La Liga with his excellent defensive ability and solid performance. It is worth noting that although he has just extended his contract with Sevilla until 2029 this summer and set a release fee as high as 60 million euros, it has not stopped the big teams from chasing him. Previously, Roma and Stuttgart have tried to introduce Bardet for 20 million euros, but both were rejected by him. Bardet himself made it clear that he is very happy at Sevilla and has no interest in leaving the team.
However, Bardet's future is fraught with uncertainty as Liverpool and other giants continue to pay attention. In the 23/24 season, Bardet made 33 appearances for Sevilla in all competitions, and although he didn't score a goal, he delivered one key assist, showing his all-around ability outside of the defensive end. He has also made 4 appearances for the team this season, and although he has yet to score a goal or assist, he has still impressed fans with his steady performance on the field.
For Liverpool, Bardet is undoubtedly an attractive option. He is young, has potential and has already proven himself in La Liga. If we can successfully introduce this new star in defense, it will undoubtedly inject new vitality into the team's future. However, in the face of the release fee of up to 60 million euros and Bardet's own loyalty to Sevilla, Liverpool want to complete this deal is afraid to pay a lot of effort.
