# Liverpool scouts to watch Demirbay against Lyon

Liverpool scouts will reportedly be present to keep a close on eye Hoffenheim’s Kerem Demirbay against Lyon tonight.

[According to a report from Turkish-Football](https://turkish-football.com/liverpool-transfer-news-reds-set-scout-28m-target-champions-league-game/), the Reds will be watching the player following suggestions of a move to Anfield in the not too distant future.

It had been [claimed that the Reds have held transfer talks](https://readliverpoolfc.com/2018/10/17/liverpool-hold-talks-over-deal-to-sign-kerem-demirbay/) with the German international as they look to secure a deal for either January or the summer transfer window.

The player has a £28 million release clause in his deal with the Bundesliga side, but the Reds will be hopeful of completing a deal.

The report claims that the player shares the same agency as both Sadio Mane and Naby Keita, something that could give Liverpool an advantage in negotiations.

The Turkish-born midfielder has been heavily linked with moves away from the Bundesliga side in the past and Liverpool now appear to be at the front of the queue.
