Would you like to see Liverpool sign Vida this summer?
Yes
No
The 31-year-old is currently valued at £5.85 million according to Transfermarkt. The Croatian has made a total of 411 club appearances throughout his career in which he has managed to score 35 goals and provide 18 assists along the way (per Transfermarkt). Vida played six out of a possible seven matches for Croatia in their 2018 World Cup journey that saw them make it all the way to the final. Now that it has been reported that Vida is on Liverpool’s radar this summer, this news did not go down too well with these Reds fans.
what a joke

What do we think?
It appears that despite his experience, these Liverpool fans would not want to see Vida arrive at the Merseyside club this summer.
