Liverpool line up summer bid for Bundesliga star
Liverpool are lining up a bid for Bayer Leverkusen midfielder Julian Brandt for the summer transfer window, according to reports.
The Liverpool Echo claims that Jurgen Klopp is keen on landing the 20-year-old and Liverpool will submit an offer at the end of the season.
Liverpool are also confident that Klopp’s history of helping young players fulfill their potential will play a huge part in getting the deal over the line.
Last week, Brandt, who has been linked with Bayern Munich, insisted that he was happy to extend his current contract with Leverkusen, which is due to expire in 2019.
"I feel very comfortable here and I know what I’ve got here. We’re constantly in good talks," he told Bild.
"If it were up to me, the summer would be the right time [to renew]. I don’t want to deal with this forever. It gets annoying and performances will suffer because of it."
