Liverpool's hopes of signing Mahmoud Dahoud have taken a hit with Borussia Dortmund reportedly offering a player-plus-cash deal for the midfielder.

Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp is known to be a big admirer of the 20-year-old and tried to sign him in the summer.

But Borussia Monchengladbach ace Dahoud remained at the Bundesliga club.

Nevertheless, Klopp is still keen to land the Germany U21 international.

However, according to German newspaper Bild, Dortmund are ready to offer £12.8million plus midfielder Nuri Sahin for Dahoud.

The report says Liverpool and Juventus are willing to pay £26m for Dahoud, who has a contract until 2018.

He also has a release clause of £8.3m which can be triggered in 2017.
