Liverpool are looking to sign the German midfielder, Leon Goretzka who is considered to be ‘world class’ and is available for a fee of around €40m-€50m this summer.
Speaking on The Transfer Exchange Show, Steve Kay was discussing some of the potential targets in the midfield market this summer.
The usual targets such as Amrabat and Kalvin Phillips were once again brought up. However, the journalist also mentioned that he heard that the Reds are looking to sign Leon Goretzka this summer.
The ‘world-class’ German midfielder may be on the market and a potential move to Anfield might be on the cards.
Goretzka on the Liverpool radar
The journalist shared what he knows about the Goretzka-Liverpool saga.
“He’s (Amrabat) a quality player and I think Liverpool are looking at him as well, and I think Liverpool are also looking at Goretzka I heard tonight.“
These might be rumours only but the midfielder is an ideal player for Klopp. He would be the tough, no-nonsense midfielder that he always has been.
Having been playing his whole life in the Bundesliga, he is accustomed to the ‘heavy metal football’ that the PL needs.
And especially Klopp, who emphasizes constant pressing to the opposition will be looking forward to recruiting such a player.
Also, he would be an experienced player that would fit in the starting XI without the need of adjusting.
This could be a huge factor as the other targets are all inexperienced when it comes to playing European football.
Moreover, with Bayern targeting Harry Kane this summer, they would be needing some funds. Since the Englishman doesn’t come cheap, rumours suggest that they might be off-loading the likes of Kimmich and Goretzka.
The German international has won everything at club level with the Bundesliga giants. Moreover, there had been interest in the player before and we might see a revisit from the Reds this summer.
