Liverpool are out of the race to sign Bayern Munich’s Mario Gotze.

The Germany international is expected to leave the Allianz Arena with Tottenham and Borussia Dortmund keen on wrapping up a £20million deal.

However, the Reds, who had targeted Gotze earlier in the summer, won’t be vying for his signature.

Having completed the £30million capture of Sadio Mane from Southampton, manager Jurgen Klopp is understood to be happy with his attacking options.

Liverpool made contact with Gotze’s representatives prior to the start of the European Championship but the ECHO understands that reports about the player paying a visit to Melwood are wide of the mark.

The 24-year-old, who blossomed under the guidance of Klopp at Dortmund, wanted to keep his options open so the Reds pursued Senegal international Mane instead.

Gotze had initially indicated that he would remain at Bayern for the final 12 months of his contract but after struggling for Germany at the Euros he appears to have had a change of heart.

Klopp believes Liverpool have sufficient firepower with Daniel Sturridge, Divock Origi and Danny Ings set to be his frontline strikers for the coming season.

As well as new boy Mane, the Reds boss can also call upon the attacking talents of Philippe Coutinho, Roberto Firmino, Adam Lallana, Sheyi Ojo and Lazar Markovic.

Liverpool remain keen to strengthen the squad in other areas but there has been no progress with their pursuit of Polish midfielder Piotr Zielinski.

Udinese rejected the Reds’ £11.75million bid with the Serie A outfit keen to sell him to Napoli for a similiar fee instead.

Zielinski, who has spent the past two seasons on loan at Empoli, is still holding out for a move to Anfield having made it clear he wants to play for Klopp.
