Liverpool have 'made contact' with Paris Saint-Germain with regards to a loan move for Julian Draxler, according to French newspaper L'Equipe.

Draxler, a German international midfielder, moved to Paris just one year ago - but not before being sounded out by Jurgen Klopp about the possibility of a move to Anfield.

However Liverpool pulled of the race when it became clear that the former Schalke and Wolfsburg man was set on a move to the French capital - but rumours regarding Liverpool's interest have not gone away.

The 24-year-old initially impressed at PSG, scoring 10 goals in 25 appearances but then fell down the pecking order following the arrivals of Neymar and Kylian Mbappe in the summer.

Draxler has since been playing in a deeper midfield role for the French outfit, scoring two goals in 14 games this season.

L'Equipe report that any deal will be difficult for Liverpool to pull off because of Draxler's reluctance to give up on PSG, but that the Reds have made tentative inquiries over a loan move with a view to a permanent deal.
