Bayer Leverkusen keeper Bernd Leno is a transfer target for Liverpool manager Jürgen Klopp who is looking for a keeper to replace Loris Karius, Bild reports.





Leno, who would cost Liverpool €25 million, has also been linked with Arsenal, Atletico Madrid and Napoli. However, according to Bild, Leno has turned Napoli down.



The decision about Leno's future is expected to be made within the next days and at least before the keeper will go on vacation after being axed from Germany's World Cup squad.



"Leno can leave, but only on our conditions. We are in constant and open discussions with Bernd and his agent," Bayer Leverkusen sporting director Rudi Völler told Bild a few days ago.



According to Bild, Bayer Leverkusen have decided to make new signing Lukas Hradecky the new first-choice keeper under all circumstances.



Leno, 26, joined Leverkusen from Stuttgart in 2011 and has since appeared 304 times for 'Die Werkself'.
