Liverpool monitor Fiorentina midfielder Cher Ndour as Premier League interest builds ahead of a potential 2027 move

Liverpool are continuing to monitor Fiorentina midfielder Cher Ndour, with TeamTalk reporting that the Merseyside club remain firmly interested in the Italy international as planning looks further ahead to 2027. The 22-year-old is attracting significant attention after a well-travelled early career across Serie A, Ligue 1, Portugal and Turkey.

  • Player: Cher Ndour, 22-year-old midfielder, Fiorentina
  • Liverpool interest: Long-standing admirers, per TeamTalk
  • Rival attention: Aston Villa, Newcastle United, Brighton, Crystal Palace and Hull City made enquiries earlier this summer
  • Potential timeline: 2027 mooted for a move to England
  • Fiorentina stance: In control of the situation; Ndour focused on development in Italy
  • Key clause: Paris Saint-Germain hold a 50 per cent sell-on clause from the 2025 deal

Deal details

No fee is stated in the report, with Fiorentina under no pressure to act now. When Ndour joined Fiorentina in 2025 after leaving Paris Saint-Germain, the French club kept a 50 per cent sell-on clause as part of the deal, a factor that could shape valuation, negotiation strategy and the appetite of all parties when the time comes.

The numbers

  • Ndour is 22 years old.
  • He has played in Serie A, Ligue 1, the Portuguese top flight and in Turkey.
  • He earned his first Italy cap earlier this year.
  • Five Premier League clubs, plus Hull City, made enquiries earlier this summer: Aston Villa, Newcastle United, Brighton, Crystal Palace and Hull City.
  • Paris Saint-Germain hold a 50 per cent sell-on clause from his 2025 move to Fiorentina.
  • He has previously been linked with both Manchester United and Liverpool.

Why Liverpool are tracking Cher Ndour for 2027

The logic behind Liverpool’s interest in Cher Ndour is straightforward: he has crammed an unusual amount of senior experience into a short career. Playing in Serie A, Ligue 1, Portugal and Turkey by 22 suggests adaptability, confidence and a broad football education, exactly the traits recruitment departments look for in a midfielder who can grow into a high-level role rather than arrive as a finished article.

The competitive picture adds another layer. According to the report, Aston Villa, Newcastle United, Brighton, Crystal Palace and Hull City all made enquiries earlier this summer and remain attentive. That sort of multi-club attention often shapes a future market even when no immediate deal is pushed over the line, and it gives Liverpool a reason to keep the groundwork in place early.

Fiorentina’s position is clear: they remain in control and Ndour is focused on continuing his development in Italy. With Paris Saint-Germain sitting on a 50 per cent sell-on clause from the 2025 transfer, any eventual price could be driven higher by the structure of the deal. That combination means this is scouting and planning rather than an imminent chase, with 2027 viewed as the potential window for a move to England.

Competition and the PSG sell-on factor

Liverpool are not alone in the queue. The fact that several Premier League clubs are already making enquiries suggests the price and complexity could rise quickly, particularly with PSG’s sell-on clause sitting in the background. For a club like Liverpool, admiration does not always become action, and the Merseysiders already have their own midfield sequence to plan around. Under Andoni Iraola, the demands of the midfield could look very different by 2027, making Ndour one to track closely rather than aggressively call early.

From a Liverpool perspective, the interest is genuine enough, especially with the line that the club remain admirers of the midfielder. Ndour has pedigree, an Italy cap earned earlier this year, and a profile that suggests he can develop rather than stagnate. Supporters tend to respond well to that kind of signing, but the distance in the timeline means the mood should be cautious interest rather than expectation.

Talking points

  • Is a 2027 target even worth tracking now, when Liverpool’s midfield shape under Andoni Iraola could be completely different by then?
  • The PSG sell-on clause gives Fiorentina little incentive to sell cheap — does that make Ndour an expensive gamble for a developing player?
  • Several Premier League clubs have already enquired. Have Liverpool left it late by treating this as groundwork rather than a live negotiation?
  • Ndour’s first Italy cap is a strong marker, but does a well-travelled early career signal adaptability or a lack of a settled home?

What happens next

Fiorentina are in control of the situation and Ndour is focused on developing in Italy, so there is no immediate transfer to resolve. Liverpool and the other interested Premier League clubs will continue to monitor his progress, with 2027 identified as the potential opportunity for a move to England. The next key decision will be whether any club converts long-standing admiration into a formal approach.
