According to Goal, Liverpool chiefs have made a policy decision which means they are not willing to sanction big-money fees for players they do not feel would immediately break into the first 11. Bayer Leverkusen’s Julian Brandt had been a long-term target for the Reds but he signed for Borussia Dortmund this week. It is believed Jurgen Klopp ideally wants to bring in a minimum of one versatile attacking player and Liverpool have been linked with several dynamic forwards recently. Liverpool are apparently interested, but Manchester United and Paris Saint-Germain are also linked with the 23-year-old French-Ivorian. Last week, BBC sport reporter David Ornstein spoke on Liverpool replacing Sturridge.
