Liverpool are believed to be considering a sensational move for Bayern Munich star Kingsley Coman this summer.
The Reds are certainly looking to bolster their attacking options after what was at times a miserable campaign in front of goal for the usually lethal forwards.
Only Mohamed Salah reached close to previous heights as Sadio Mane, Roberto Firmino and in particular Divock Origi suffered major dips in form.
Despite the emergence of Diogo Jota as an additional option following his impressive debut Anfield season, Jurgen Klopp is expected to consider options to strengthen the department.
According to a report from Fichajes, as cited by The Anfield Buzz on Twitter, Coman could be among the potential targets.

The report states that the 25-year-old’s agent is pushing for the French international to land a new contract at Bayern – with a reluctance coming from the Bavarian club.
This stance has alerted the Reds, who are claimed to be willing to pay £30million for Coman’s services, less than Bayern’s mooted £42milion valuation.
Currently away with the France squad for Euro 2020, the 30-cap Parisian scored eight and made 15 assists in 39 outings during 2020/21.

Valued at £58.8million and under contract at the Allianz Arena until 2023 (Transfermarkt), signing Coman for anywhere near the mooted £30million fee would be an incredible piece of business.
Credited with excellent attacking attributes, the Frenchman, once described as ‘solid gold’ by Bayern legend Thomas Muller, would offer Klopp additional options across the entire frontline.
A serial winner, Coman is worth signing simply as a good luck charm if nothing else having won the title in each of his ten seasons in the professional game.
