Liverpool are looking for a left-back after Alberto Moreno left the club on a free transfer, upon the expiry of his contract.

Max joined Augsburg in 2015 and has played over 100 games for the club in all competitions, with the majority of them coming in the Bundesliga.

The 25-year-old has also represented his country, Germany, at the Olympics – playing three games in 2016.
