However, Liverpool are reportedly in talks with Nurnberg to sign striker Stefanos Tzimas this summer. The 19-year-old is on a season-long loan from PAOK.
Nurnberg are reputedly obligated to sign Tzimas permanently for £15m at the end of the season, but there are claims they would be willing to flip the player if someone pays them £ 20 million this summer.
