Liverpool will have to pay in excess of £87 million for 16-goal target
Liverpool have been linked with a move for the Bayern Munich attacker Jamal Musiala in recent weeks.
The 20-year-old German international is highly rated in Europe and he has a bright future ahead of him. Liverpool are reportedly looking to bring him in and journalist Ben Jacobs has now revealed that they would have to pay in excess of £87 million.
Bayern Munich are under no pressure to sell the player and they are likely to demand a premium for him.
The 20-year-old has already established himself as a key player for club and country. He scored 16 goals across all competitions last season and he picked up 16 assists along the way as well. He has all the attributes to develop into a world-class attacker and Liverpool could certainly use someone like him.
The German international is versatile enough to operate as a centre forward, a central attacking midfielder as well as a winger. Working under a top-class manager like Jurgen Klopp will only help him improve further and fulfil his world-class potential.
Liverpool already have players like Darwin Nunez and Cody Gakpo at their disposal. Players like Diogo Jota can slot into the central areas as well. It remains to be seen whether they decide to spend that kind of money on Musiala in the coming months.
The Reds should look to invest in a winger instead. Mohamed Salah has been linked with a move away from the club and he will enter the final year of his contract next summer. Replacing him in the long term should be the top priority for Liverpool.
