Liverpool told €40m deal is on with star ‘leaning towards a change’ Liverpool have been informed that they can sign Florian Neuhaus this summer – after it was claimed the midfielder was ready to prioritise a move to Anfield. Jurgen Klopp and sporting director Michael Edwards are looking to strengthen all areas of their squad after a disappointing campaign.

Wijnaldum is in the final few months of his contract and looks likely to leave as a free agent.

Neuhaus recently emerged as a target to replace Wijnaldum in the summer. The 24-year-old has provided six goals and five assists in the Bundesliga this season and would offer another element to Liverpool’s engine room.

Falk talks up Liverpool move for Neuhaus

Respected German journalist Christian Falk has also confirmed Liverpool’s interest in the box-to-box midfield dynamo.

“It’s true that they’ve been watching the player for a while,” Falk told BILD.

“The whole thing is not yet concrete according to our information. But it can, of course, become concrete, and he asks to play there.

“Neuhaus has an exit clause of €40million, which could be triggered in the summer. Dortmund has distanced itself after the [Marco] Rose transfer and will not take any player from its team.

“Bayern has to save money after the €42.5million transfer of [Dayot] Upamecano. It is currently rather unlikely that they will put another 40million on the table.
