Liverpool are set to meet Newcastle United representatives in the coming weeks to discuss the future of their star player, who has been linked with a move to Bayern Munich.
According to sources, the Reds have been tracking the player’s progress and are keen to secure his services, but Newcastle are reluctant to sell.
Background

Liverpool, however, are confident that they can persuade the player to join them and are willing to make a significant offer to secure his signature.
Reaction

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has also refused to comment on the speculation, but insiders believe that he is keen to strengthen his squad and is willing to make a bold move to secure the player’s signature.
