Chelsea and Liverpool's common desire and cost 16m, not Bellingham

Duel in sight between these two Premier League powerhouses over the acquisition of Sander Berge. A midfielder who finishes his contract with Sheffield United in June 2024. It is an open secret that Chelsea and Liverpool have more than established themselves among the elite in a Premier League that continues to be vibrant. Undoubtedly two of the quintessential giants of the competition that Pep Guardiola's Manchester City are defending.

And it seems that they have crossed interests for their wide area. All of this, of course, based on information published by Jeunesfooteux. According to the aforementioned source, the Blues and the Reds are going to have an arm wrestle in the race for Sander Berge (24 years old). A midfielder who plays for Sheffield United. His contract at Bramall Lane runs until mid-2024, being a club that plays in the English Football League (EFL) Championship.

As such, both Graham Potter and Jürgen Klopp's side will fancy their chances of taking the lead in the race for Berge's signature. According to data compiled by Transfermarkt, the Norwegian is valued at €16m. In that sense, the Londoners and the Merseyside outfit will have to plot their respective strategies to win the deal for the Sheffield Wednesday starlet. Berge is also a target for Liverpool and Chelsea.

Forged at Asker in his homeland, Berge had spells at Vålerenga and Genk before joining a British club for whom he has so far made 74 official appearances (10 goals and seven assists). His contract runs until June 2024 and includes a £35m (just over €40m) termination clause. After each edition of the transfer window, the media often publicises all those deals that have been left in limbo.
