Liverpool are poised to miss out on summer target Julian Brandt, according to reports in Germany.

News outlet Bild has claimed the Bayer Leverkusen winger has a verbal agreement to join Bundesliga champions Bayern Munich.

It’s suggested the 20-year-old has told Bayern he will switch to the Allianz Arena, although the exact time of the move has yet to be determined.

Brandt is under contract at Leverkusen until 2019 but a clause in his deal means he could leave for as little as 12.5million euros in the summer of 2018.

Bayern, though, could look to complete a deal in the coming months, but would have to spend in the region of 30m for the player.

Jurgen Klopp has been a long-time admirer of Germany international Brandt and was pondering a move for the attacker in January.

However, Bayern have stolen a march thanks to their technical director Michael Reschke, who took Brandt from Wolfsburg to Leverkusen in 2014 and was subsequently aware of the clause in the player’s contract.
