# Liverpool learn price tag for Bart Verbruggen

**[Liverpool](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/liverpool-fc-news/) have learned that they will have to pay £11m should they want to bring Anderlecht goalkeeper Bart Verbruggen to the [Premier League](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/premier-league-news/), according to reports.**

### The Lowdown: Klopp’s admiration

The Dutch goalkeeper isn’t out of contract at the Lotto Park until [2025](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/rsc-anderlecht/berateruebersicht/verein/58), but the fact that he is Brian Riemer’s overall third-best-performing player with a match rating of [7.07](https://www.whoscored.com/Teams/240/Show/Belgium-Anderlecht) shows just how good he is at preventing goals between the sticks.

Belgian outlet [HLN](https://www.hln.be/anderlecht/zelfs-klopp-en-ten-hag-zijn-gecharmeerd-kan-anderlecht-kersvers-nederlands-international-bart-verbruggen-nog-lang-houden~a1a4f072/) reported on Saturday that the Reds are set to battle it out with top-flight rivals Manchester United for the 20-year-old’s signature this summer, despite his club turning down an offer from Burnley last summer.

It’s stated by the same source that [Jurgen Klopp](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/tag/jurgen-klopp/) is ‘charmed’ by the shot-stopper and the boss has now discovered the fee required if he wants any chance of bringing him to Anfield.

### The Latest: Liverpool need £11m

According to Belgian website Voetbal Nieuws (via [Sport Witness](https://sportwitness.co.uk/liverpool-need-league-record-fee-rumoured-target-cashing-cards/)), Liverpool will need to cough up ‘a sum in double figures’ should they be hoping to get Anderlecht ‘around the table’ ahead of the 2023/24 term.

The Jupiler Pro League giants are ‘aiming’ to receive a fee close to €13m (£11m) which would be a record for a keeper in their division.

The 6 foot 3 colossus’ outfit would ‘like to keep’ their player, but they are of the understanding that ‘lucrative offers’ aren’t something they can reject and therefore would be willing to sanction a sale if the demanded fee was put on the table.

The Merseysiders would only need to submit a ‘sufficient bid’ for the chances of him remaining to start looking ‘slim’, with ‘cashing in’ the current mindset being deployed.

### The Verdict: Kelleher replacement?

Caoimhin Kelleher has been heavily [linked](https://www.tribalfootball.com/articles/liverpool-set-kelleher-price-favour-foreign-club-sale-4451287) with an exit at the end of the season, so should he depart, Liverpool would be signing the perfect replacement in Verbruggen.

The [right-footed](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/bart-verbruggen/profil/spieler/565093) ace has kept ten clean sheets in 31 appearances across all competitions this season and most recently helped Anderlecht secure their place in the quarter-finals of the Europa Conference League ([Transfermarkt](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/bart-verbruggen/leistungsdaten/spieler/565093)).

Following a trio of impressive performances against Cercle Brugge, Villarreal & OH Leuven, talent scout [Jacek Kulig](https://twitter.com/FTalentScout) dubbed him an absolute ‘[Superman’](https://twitter.com/ftalentscout/status/1638143154363793408?s=46&t=cVYwodEwJ5KqH22eIl4UYA) and his form hasn’t gone unnoticed elsewhere.

Verbruggen recently received his [first](https://metro.co.uk/2023/03/19/man-utd-and-liverpool-eye-move-for-anderlecht-star-bart-verbruggen-18467116/) senior international call-up for the Netherlands for their upcoming Euro 2024 qualifiers vs France and Gibraltar so has a promising future ahead of him which could potentially develop at Anfield should he put pen to paper.
