Liverpool are back in the hunt to sign Milot Rashica after it was revealed his get-out clause could drop to just €15m.
Jurgen Klopp was linked with the Bosnian earlier this season after his impressive form for Werder Bremen. However, interest in Timo Werner saw Liverpool shift their focus.
But with Liverpool opting against a deal for Werner – who subsequently joined Chelsea – the Reds have switched their focus back towards Rashica.
The 23-year-old has 10 goals and five assists this season, despite playing in a struggling Bremen side.
Rashica’s clause was reported to be €38m, but now Kicker claims that will drop to just €15m in the event of Bremen’s relegation to Bundesliga 2. And according to the Daily Mirror, that has spiked Liverpool’s interest.
Liverpool aren’t alone in their pursuit of Rashica, however. Wolves, Aston Villa and Southampton are also said to be keen.

Bremen, however, could also launch a legal battle over his exit fee. They will contest that the €15m clause has already expired due to the extension of the Bundesliga side.
Either way, Liverpool see Rashica as a solid back-up option to their famed front three. The Bosnian could also be seen as a replacement for Xherdan Shaqiri were he to leave.
