It seems Liverpool have a massive fan in one PSV star.
The Reds faced the Dutch giants in the UEFA Champions League on Wednesday, with PSV winning the game 3-2 to book their place in the tournament’s next round.
Despite the loss, Liverpool finished the league phase at the top of the table, two points ahead of Barcelona, who failed to beat Atalanta in their game.
Having finished in first place, Arne Slot’s side will likely face PSG, Monaco, Brest or Benfica in the next round.
Meanwhile, one player who played a key role in PSV’s win has indicated that he can join Liverpool.
PSV star opens the door to Liverpool
PSV attacker Johan Bakayoko has indicated that he ‘can join Liverpool’.
The Belgian was one of PSV players on the scoresheet for their 3-2 Champions League win over Liverpool on Wednesday.
After the game, the 21-year-old was asked whether he could step up and play at a bigger club, such as Liverpool.
“I definitely think that I can join Liverpool,” Bakayoko replied.
“We can be happy that we won against big names, but they didn’t come with the strongest team either?
It’s a shame that they didn’t come with the strongest team.”
Johan Bakayoko has previously been linked with a move to Liverpool.
His name was in the conversation for an Anfield switch last summer, and he was seen as a potential long-term replacement for Mohamed Salah.
The 21-year-old, who can play both as a left and right winger, has eight goals and two assists in 26 games for PSV this season.
