Liverpool are reportedly set to rival Manchester United for Thomas Muller

JOE

Rumours of a Manchester United bidĀ for Bayern Munich’s Thomas Muller did the rounds on a number of occasions last summer.

With the Angel Di Maria episode fresh in supporters’ minds, the idea of the club throwing ridiculous sums of money at a deal wasn’t so far-fetched. Actually landing the German international was another matter entirely – nobody really believed it would happen.

Ahead of the January transfer window, Muller’s name has again been linked with a move to England.The only difference is this time Liverpool isĀ his potential next destination.

Seemingly, having a German manager is enough to seeĀ Muller linked with a move to Merseyside, withĀ SportBildĀ suggesting the former World Cup Golden Boot winner could finally leave Bayern.

The Ā£70m transfer fee might be a little steep for Jurgen Klopp, though, and we suspect there won’t be too many Liverpool fans taking this one too seriously either.
