Liverpool are believed to be interested in signing Sampdoria midfielder Mikkel Damsgaard this summer.

The above report states a transfer fee between £15 million to £20 million should be enough to sign Damsgaard, but that rather vague figure has been disputed.
Italian outlet Gazzetta dello Sport claim Serie A side AC Milan have been quoted around £26 million for the 21-year-old midfielder.
