Croatia’s improbable run at the FIFA World Cup in Russia hasn’t gone unnoticed.
For the first time in two decades, the Blazers made it to the quarter-final with some incredible attractive football on display.
While the likes of Luca Modric and Ivan Rakitic have stolen all the plaudits in the final third, Domagoj Vida has been the man keeping things tight at the back.
Liverpool has reportedly been enchanted by the 29-year-old and is weighing up bringing him to Anfield.
Vida plays from the right-side of defense and usually storms forward to contribute his quota in the attack, however Royal Panda sports betting is offering the best odds in the betting market should the Reds land the defender this summer.
Due to his incredible calmness and artistry, Croatia has conceded just twice in the competition.
Now the Daily Star is quoting Turkish sources that the Reds have joined Everton in the race to sway the Croat from Besiktas.
Jurgen Klopp is in dire need of defensive reinforcement having already strengthened the midfield with Fabinho and Naby Keita from Monaco and RB Leipzig respectively.
The same reports claim Liverpool’s Merseyside neighbours had a bid of around £12m rejected.
Should the Reds manage to double that figure, then they may just strike gold.
Vida will provide competition for English duo Trent Alexander-Arnold and Nathaniel Clyne.
