Recently, Liverpool have been finding it hard to keep hold of one of their most influential players, Phillipe Coutinho, with the Brazilian looking to leave the Merseyside club in the summer, with the Spanish giants Barcelona in the calling to bring him in for the new season, which is almost on the verge of starting. The Reds are trying their level best to fend off the interest though and have already rejected two bids from the Catalan side, citing the reason that Coutinho is not for sale.
However, the situation has become increasingly complex and now, with the Brazilian player himself handing a transfer request to the club authority, has made Barcelona the potential possessors of the Liverpool forward for the next term. Liverpool are trying to be resilient in their stand but it looks quite sure that they will eventually end up losing their main man in the ongoing summer transfer market.
Looking at the current situation, the man in charge at Anfield, Jurgen Klopp, is looking forward to bring in a viable replacement for the brilliant Brazilian and has his eyes on one of the most highly regarded youngster in all over Europe, in the form of Max Meyer, who is currently playing for the Bundesliga club Schalke.
The player had a great season in the last term with his current club and has been targeted by a number of clubs from all over Europe including Liverpool, who are looking forward to strengthening their attacking proposition in the absence of their talismanic attacker Coutinho. The German youngster has made his way into the German national side as well and has been termed as one of the future superstars of not only German but also European football.
A player of his calibre, who has featured in 165 games so far for his current club, is sure to be a great addition to the Premier League side, who finished on the fourth spot in the last term and will be willing to continue with their dominant performance in the new season as well.
The Reds are well aware of the fact that they will be playing in the Champions League in this season and will need a player who can stabilize their midfield and can contribute to their success actively. Their intention to bag the player has received a huge boost, as the 21-year-old has denied to sign a new contract with Schalke and has only 12 months left on his current contract with the German outfit, as per reports.
