Transfer Talk: Klopp wants to bring Musiala to Merseyside

Liverpool are keen to sign Bayern Munich midfielder Jamal Musiala.

The German international has received limited game time this season and Jurgen Klopp is aware he could be available, according to BILD in Germany.

Signing the Bayern starlet would be a statement of intent for the Reds, who do not yet seem to have completed their midfield revolution.

Alexis Mac Allister, Dominik Szoboszlai, Ryan Gravenberch and Wataru Endo arrived in the summer but the 2020 Premier League winners are keen on more.

Musiala is out of contract in 2026, potentially putting the Bundesliga champions in a dangerous position should they not sell him next year.

He had been promised that he would become the face of the club's future but has often missed out to Thomas Muller in Thomas Tuchel's starting XI this season.

And talks to extend his deal have hit a dead end.

Real Madrid are also credited with an interest in the 20-year-old, where he would be united with childhood friend Jude Bellingham.

Musiala is not yet prepared to make his discontent known publicly but is thought to be unhappy with the situation in Germany.
