FSG are plotting a Liverpool swoop for German defender David Raum in the summer transfer window.
What’s the word?
According to SportBILD, via Sport Witness the Premier League side are reportedly interested in making a move for the 24-year-old during the summer.
Liverpool could secure his services for €30m (£25m) due to his release clause, and with the sizeable transfer fees being thrown around at the minute, it could well be a bargain.
There are five English clubs interested, though, so Jurgen Klopp will need to act quickly.
Klopp would love Raum at Liverpool
Liverpool are having a scintillating season so far, winning the Carabao Cup, reaching both the FA Cup and Champions League finals, and still in the hunt for a Premier League title, so they could land an unprecedented quadruple.
Klopp isn’t stopping there, though, with his desire for constant improvement one of the determining factors behind the Anfield juggernaut, so it’s no surprise to see him linked with talented players.
Raum could be a solid signing, although he is unlikely to usurp Andy Robertson at left-back any time soon. The German has made 30 appearances in the Bundesliga this season and scored three goals and notched 13 assists, an excellent return for a full-back.
His performances have led many to lavish praise on the player, with Adam Khan of Breaking the Lines describing him as an “exceptional threat” and Hoffenheim sporting director Alexander Rosen hailing him as "a highly talented and extremely fast player".
The 24-year-old could well be in the running for a spot in Germany's World Cup squad if these stats and performances remain at a high level.
Klopp could surely love to take the defender's game to another level given his vast creative potential, and the Premier League might be the best place for Raum to continue his development.
