Liverpool have received “positive reports” on Wolves’ Ruben Neves and RB Leipzig’s Konrad Laimer, according to 90min.com.

With manager Jurgen Klopp now admitting that the Reds do need a new midfielder before the transfer window shuts, it is believed both Neves and Laimer are being considered as targets ahead of a “late window” bid.

Laimer is thought to be the more likely option as he has less than a year left on his contract at Leipzig. It has been suggested that the Bundesliga club could be prepared to sell for between €25m (£21m) and €30m (£25m).

Bayern Munich have also attempted to snap up the Austrian international but their offer (said to be worth around €24m/£20m) was rejected.

Neves is likely to be a more difficult deal to negotiate. Wolves have reportedly slapped a £70m asking price on the Portuguese midfielder, and the valuation is believed to have already put off the likes of Arsenal and Manchester United.
