Several clubs are interested in him, including Manchester United, Real Madrid, Manchester City and Chelsea, meaning Liverpool face plenty of competition for the former Birmingham City man.

However, if Liverpool are unable to land him, they are looking at other options, and one has come up in the form of Bayern Munich midfielder Jamal Musiala.

Liverpool interested in Musiala deal

Musiala has shone for the Bavarians this season, arguably being their best player and being at the heart of Julian Nagelsmann’s midfield.

Musiala has priors in England, having played in Chelsea’s youth set-up before transferring over to the German club, where he has stayed since and even chose Germany over England as his international side.

According to Sky Germany suggest that Liverpool are very interested in acquiring Musiala in the future and are keeping tabs on his progress at the Allianz Arena.

Musiala, though, is happy to remain at Bayern Munich, telling the media earlier in the season that he is comfortable with life at the Bavarian club.

"Many factors come together, many details. I’m very happy at Bayern. But you never know what will happen in six or seven years. I live in the present and enjoy the moment, I’m very happy,” Musiala said.

"The Premier League is a really strong league. The big stars go there. But whether I’ll go there at some point? No idea. I only know that I enjoyed my time in England.

“Now I’m playing for FC Bayern, one of the best clubs in the world,” he added, suggesting that he’s only thinking about his progress there for the time being.
