Liverpool don’t have too long to recuperate after reaching the CL final as we’ve another big game at the weekend – but at least tonight we can sit back and relax for the other semi!
Bundesliga pair on Reds’ radar
Two players from the same German club hit the headlines today alongside Liverpool, with Hoffenheim pair Christoph Baumgartner and David Raum reportedly on the watchlist.
You may remember links with the former last summer after he starred at Euro 2020 with Austria and the 22-year-old remains a player Jurgen Klopp is keeping a “close eye” on this season.
He plays in any attacking midfield role and has a €30m buyout, with Baumgartner said to be mulling over an exit this summer.
Raum, on the other hand, joined on a free transfer in the summer and has racked up 11 league assists from wing-back, where he plays on the left. Five Premier League clubs are mentioned with the Reds one of them, though naturally there doesn’t seem to be any likelihood of a bid from us unless Kostas Tsimikas is offloaded, which doesn’t appear probable right now. Both rumours come from Bild.
