Reports in Germany suggest Liverpool will reignite their interest in Borussia Monchengladbach midfielder Mahmoud Dahoud in January.

Liverpool are understood to have failed in a bid to sign Dahoud in the summer, with Gladbach desperate to keep hold of the Germany Under-21 international after losing Granit Xhaka to Arsenal.

According to German outlet Die Express, however, Jurgen Klopp remains keen on the 20-year-old, and the Reds could make a £26million bid in the winter transfer window.

Tony Barrett, writing for JOE earlier this season, revealed more on Klopp’s interest.

“Mahmoud Dahoud had won Klopp’s admiration as a result of his performances in the Bundesliga and the Liverpool manager had wanted to add him to his midfield options at Anfield,” he wrote.

“His interest, though, was thwarted by Borussia Monchengladbach who refused to countenance Dahoud’s sale during a summer in which they had already lost Granit Xhaka to Arsenal.

“But all that has done is delay the 20-year-old’s departure, particularly as he has now entered the final the final two years of his contract. Given they have spent much of this summer in talks with his agent, Reza Fazeli, over a new contract for Emre Can, whom he also represents, Liverpool remain in the box seat to sign Dahoud in the future.”
