# Virals: Liverpool ‘offered the chance’ to sign Florian Neuhaus this summer

[Liverpool](https://readliverpoolfc.com/2021/09/07/virals-liverpool-have-karim-adeyemi-on-their-radar/) were reportedly ‘offered the chance’ to sign Borussia Monchengladbach midfielder [Florian Neuhaus](https://readliverpoolfc.com/2021/06/21/virals-florian-neuhaus-a-more-realistic-target-for-liverpool/) this summer.

The Reds remained quiet during the [transfer window](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/fc-liverpool/transfers/verein/31) despite the departures of Gini Wijnaldum, Xherdan Shaqiri and a host of fringe squad members.

Widespread speculation linked the Anfield club with [numerous](https://www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/every-player-liverpool-transfer-rumours-21433837) options, including the 24-year-old German international.

According to a report from the [Mirror](https://www.mirror.co.uk/), as cited by [Anfield Edition](https://twitter.com/AnfieldEdition/status/1434831191568494597) on Twitter, Jurgen Klopp was given the opportunity to land Neuhaus at a cut-price fee.

Capped on [six occasions](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/florian-neuhaus/nationalmannschaft/spieler/278332/verein_id/3262) by Germany, the attack-minded midfielder was believed to previously be [valued](https://www.bild.de/video/clip/premierleague/einfach-nur-wahnsinn-dieser-spielerfrauen-zoff-haelt-england-in-atem-75548530-75551380.bild.html) at around £35million.

Last season Neuhaus scored [six times and added eight assists](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/florian-neuhaus/leistungsdatendetails/spieler/278332/plus/0/saison/2020/wettbewerb/L1/verein/18) in 33 Bundesliga appearances – earning an impressive [average Sofascore rating of 7.07](https://www.sofascore.com/player/florian-neuhaus/837205) in the process.

### READ LIVERPOOL VERDICT

Valued at £31.5million and under contract until 2024 in Germany ([Transfermarkt](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/florian-neuhaus/marktwertverlauf/spieler/278332)), signing Neuhaus for the mooted £21million would have been an amazing piece of business.

Predominantly an out and out central midfielder, the German ace is also capable of playing in [more advanced positions](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/florian-neuhaus/leistungsdatendetails/spieler/278332) as well as in wide areas.

Possessing a host of [key attributes](https://www.whoscored.com/Players/319448/Show/Florian-Neuhaus) that would make him the ideal candidate for a role in Klopp’s squad, this would be a wise deal to revisit in January.
