Liverpool are reportedly interested in Hoffenheim defender Fabian Schär. The Reds sent scouts to watch the Swiss defender playing against Andorra and Hungary.

Barcelona sporting director Roberto Fernandez was reportedly also present during Switzerland’s 2-1 win over Andorra. Schär scored the opener for Switzerland. The defender has earlier been linked with The Catalans.
He has a contract till 2019 and Liverpool will face stiff competition from Inter Milan who are also planning to sign him.
