Liverpool want to bolster their attack to mount a serious challenge on the Premier League title next season, as well as compete deep into the Champions League.
The likes of Divock Origi, Daniel Sturridge and Danny Ings have all failed to prove themselves as regular and consistent performers for the Reds which has led them to consider some of Europe’s top forwards.
A player on Jurgen Klopp’s radar is Dortmund star Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, who was the top scorer in the Bundesliga last season with 31 goals in just 32 games.
According to the Daily Mail, Liverpool, along with Chelsea, are the front-runners to land the 28-year-old striker this summer after PSG pulled out of a move for him.
Dortmund have confirmed that they will sell Aubameyang this summer if their demands are met before they commence pre-season training on July 26th, so the clock is ticking to complete this transfer.
While Aubameyang is a top target for the Reds, down in West London he’s considered a ‘Plan B’ target if Chelsea fail to land Romelu Lukaku from Liverpool’s rivals Everton.
Meanwhile, Manchester United are also tracking Aubameyang as an alternative to Alvaro Morata if they cannot sign the Real Madrid striker.
Now Chelsea and Manchester United could be in the race for Aubameyang, Liverpool could struggle to get this deal over the line.
