Liverpool are reportedly preparing to pursue a deal for Inter Milan midfielder Marcelo Brozovic following the transfer window.
The Reds are believed to be closely monitoring the Croatian’s situation after the 28-year-old entered the final 12 months of a contract in Italy.
This isn’t the first time the club has been heavily linked with Brozovic, as strong links also emerged back in April 2020.
The Nerazzurri remain confident that their man will extend a five-year spell at the San Siro and are willing to offer a new deal.
However, according to a report from Inter Live, as cited by Liverpool FC News on Twitter claims that Jurgen Klopp will ‘try to sign’ Brozovic.

The report states that Liverpool ‘in particular’ have tempted the 63 times capped international to hold off on signing a new deal as the Anfield club are ‘ready to get serious’ for the ace.
Last season, Brozovic scored twice and registered six assists in 33 Serie A outings.

Valued at £36million (Transfermarkt), signing the Croatian star for nothing next summer would be a sublime piece of business.
As things stand the Reds would be able to reach a pre-contract agreement for a move on January 1 2022.
Having lost Gini Wijnaldum as a free agent this summer, landing a like for like replacement would be shrewd, albeit perhaps a season too late.
Credited with very strong passing ability as well as an abundance of key attributes, Brozovic fits the bill of a typical Jurgen Klopp midfielder.
