Bayer Leverkusen star Julian Brandt reportedly has a release clause in his contract that stands at just €12.5million.

But it can only be activated in the summer of 2018, according to German newspaper Express.

Liverpool are one of the teams allegedly mulling over a move for the wing sensation, who has become a regular in the Leverkusen line-up.

The 20-year-old has also been linked with Manchester City, Bayern Munich, Juventus and AC Milan.

If the Reds want to beat their rivals to the punch, they will likely have to pay above the odds over the next couple of transfer windows.
