Liverpool have made an offer to sign Schalke midfielder Leon Goretzka, according to reports.

The 22-year-old is out of contract with the Bundesliga club at the end of the season and has been linked with several top teams across Europe.

Mundo Deportivo claims that Liverpool have already been in touch with Goretzka’s representative Jorg Neubauer, but the midfielder has also received offers from Barcelona, Bayern Munich and Juventus.

The report also claims that the Germany international is intent on joining Barcelona and is now deciding whether to push for a move in the January transfer window.

Mundo Deportivo also reports that Goretzka has spoke with Barcelona goalkeeper Marc-Andre ter Stegen about a move to Camp Nou.



‘We have made every effort possible, we can not do more,’ Schalke’s sporting director Christian Heidel told Sky Sports Germany.

‘We are trying to convince him, also in the economic aspect, we are convinced that we have to look for him to continue without putting pressure on him.’
