Liverpool are reportedly looking closely at Hoffenheim midfielder Kerim Demirbay, as a potential replacement for Emre Can, who looks set to leave Anfield this summer, according to Bild, cited by lfcdt.com.
Demirbay, 24, is highly thought of in the Bundesliga and is catching the eye of a number of sides around Europe, including fellow German clubs Borrusia Dortmund and Schalke, along with three Premier League sides, Arsenal, Everton and the Reds.
Current Liverpool midfielder Can, is out of contract in the summer and is set to join Italian giants Juventus when his deal expires at the end of the season.
Borussia Dortmund are thought to be the favourites in the race for Demirbay’s signature, with the German international having a release clause of around €32 million with Hoffenheim.
Reds boss Jurgen Klopp has already secured the services of Naby Keita from fellow Bundesliga outfit RB Leipzig, who is set to join in the summer.
