Werder Bremen sporting director Frank Baumann has revealed that the club are not preparing to sell Liverpool target Jiri Pavlenka this summer.
The experienced shot-stopper has been heavily linked with a move to Anfield to replace Simon Mignolet, who looks set to end his six-year association with the Reds this summer.
If Mignolet does depart the club, Jurgen Klopp looks likely to target an experienced back-up replacement.
Pavlenka, who began his career with Czech side Banik Ostrava has nine national caps for the Czech Republic and has been plying his trade in the Bundesliga since 2017.
The 27-year-old made 39 appearances for the German side last season and impressed, as Bremen finished eighth in the Bundesliga.
However, it appears as if the Reds won’t be securing the services of the 6ft 5in keeper this summer.
Sporting director Baumann, talking to Weser-Kurier, cited by Goal, admitted he isn’t expecting Pavlenka to depart the club this summer.
We plan with Pavlenka for the new season. There is no offer from Juventus or Liverpool for Jiri Pavlenka.
