Liverpool FC’s quest to find a viable replacement for Gini Wijnaldum in the summer has reportedly been narrowed down to one of the top talents in German top-flight football, Borussia Monchengladbach star Florian Neuhaus.
The midfielder has been in fine form for the Bundesliga outfit and is rumoured to be eyed by the Merseyside Reds as they now remain resigned to losing Wijnaldum when his deal comes to a close at the end of the ongoing campaign.
Jurgen Klopp is believed to be wanting to use the transfer market in order to bring in Wijnaldum’s replacement, with the Liverpool FC boss deciding against depending upon current options in the first-team ranks at the club.
A transfer fee northwards of £30 million would tempt Monchengladbach into parting ways with their midfield asset if the under-fire Reds come calling on the German club in the summer.
The 23-year-old so far has played down speculation linking him with a move away from his current surroundings and reports from the Express confirm Neuhaus’ recent interview suggesting he was keen on giving his best in the Monchengladbach shirt.
“I have a contract until 2024 and I have very big goals for this season,” Neuhaus told Kicker. “That’s what I’m concentrating on now. [Transfer talk] is really not a big issue for me now.
“I play at Borussia, I have a contract, and we as a club are still pursuing very big goals this season. I can’t say what will happen in the summer at the moment.
“I’m also very relaxed about the future. Borussia is a club where I was able to develop excellently and where everything is there. I know what I have with Borussia.”
