# Liverpool make an offer for Athletic Bilbao’s Iker Muniain

Liverpool have made an offer to sign Athletic Club Bilbao winger Iker Muniain, according to a report from Spanish outlet [Marca](https://marca.com/), as per [Sport Witness.](https://sportwitness.co.uk/marca-liverpool-now-made-offer-athletic-club-bilbao-attacking-star/)

The 25-year-old will be out of contract in the summer and Liverpool have reportedly made an offer to the player which would see them sign him on a free transfer at the end of the season.

Napoli, Liverpool’s competitors in the Champions League group stages, have also made an offer to the man who was once dubbed as “the Spanish Messi” by the media.

However, as a man brought up in the Basque region of Spain, Muniain is loyal to Bilbao and Marca believe that his preference is to sign a new deal with Athletic. However, he could be tempted by the chance to play Champions League football with either Napoli or the Reds.
