Liverpool and Aston Villa are reportedly leading the race to sign Milot Rashica this summer, according to the Mirror, who cite Gazeta Blic.
The Reds have been linked with the Werder Bremen winger before, as Jurgen Klopp eyes up squad reinforcements.
This latest report also claims that Rashica would cost £35 million, according to Gazeta Blic.

I see Rashica as an ideal back-up to Sadio Mane, adding much-needed depth to Liverpool’s squad, because as things stand, Divock Origi appears to be the best deputy option out on the left wing.
However, the Belgian has struggled this season, scoring just three times in the Premier League. He often looks unnatural out wide, with his preferred position being the through the middle as the central striker.
On the flip side, Rashica is a much more natural fit in that role, where he has scored seven goals and assisted four times in the Bundesliga in 2019/20.
The Kosovo international could come in and do a job when required, allowing Mane some rest, and he can also play on the right-hand side if needs be, giving Mohamed Salah a breather, too.
