Perr Schuurs may leave Torino next summer for €50 million, Tuttosport reports.

The Limburger has been of interest to Inter for some time and now Tottenham Hotspur, Liverpool and Erik ten Hag's Manchester United are reportedly interested in the 23-year-old Torino centre-back.

According to the Turin newspaper, Liverpool was the first to inquire about the availability of the Dutchman. The two other Premier League clubs followed soon after. Schuurs is still stuck in the Stadio Olimpico Grande Torino until mid-2026 with an option for another season.

Last summer he signed from Ajax for €9m excluding bonuses, and since the central defender has become an undisputed starter.

The interest of Erik ten Hag's Manchester United is somewhat surprising, given that Schuurs was not always a regular under his reign at Ajax. In more than four seasons, the defender made 95 appearances for the Amsterdam club, scoring 3 goals and 4 assists. United have already conceded 28 goals in 23 games this season and ould use some defensive reinforcement.

Liverpool, meanwhile, were linked with the player while he was at Ajax in 2021.

Schuurs impressing in Serie A

At the end of January, Tuttosport reported that Inter, second in Serie A behind Napoli, are interested in the former Netherlands youth international. In Milan, he is seen as the successor to Milan Skriniar, who will leave for Paris Saint-Germain on a free transfer at the end of the season. At the time it was reported that Torino wanted €25m for Schuurs, so the asking price would have already doubled.

Schuurs has played 19 games for the Turin club and has emerged as one of the team's defensive strongmen. After the 1-0 victory over Milan, Tuttosport, among others, praised the right-sided player.

"He was surprised once by Charles De Ketelaere. That was his only mistake in this gladiatorial match. He enchanted everyone in San Siro," the sports newspaper judged.

Schuurs' current Estimated Transfer Value (ETV), calculated by the algorithm. of FootballTransfers, is estimated at €15m.
