Transfer question for Ed001/002. Have Liverpool Or any other club expressed interest in signing Granit Xhaxa? Lovely CM for *Montenglabach* stays middle of the park and very level headed. Just wandering if Liverpool would make an approach?
Off subject aswell, I read when Klopp first took over he was looking at Leon Goretska and Julian Brandt. Was that a serious Rumour or just paper talk?! Thanks eds.
{Ed002's Note - Xhaka signed a new long-term contract but there is interest from Atletico Madrid and Inter. He he were to become available, interest from England may arise. Previous interest from Stoke and Everton is gone.
Goretzka has been of interest to Southampton but Schelke has no intention of selling in the short-term.
Winger Julian Brandt turned down a contract extension from Wolfsburg and Bayer Leverkusen, Manchester United, Chelsea, Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund all showed interest with Chelsea offering a player in part exchange in the summer of 2013. Liverpool certainly took a look at that time as well - but that was the previous regime. He moved to Bayer Leverkusen in Janauary 2014 and continued to attract attention from Arsenal who made an approach in the summer of 2014. This past summer he was not for sale. He is still young and no doubt next summer will see further interest.}
