Impressing for the Ligue 1 leaders, who are also going well in the Champions League, Portugal star Silva is attracting plenty of attention. The versatile attacking midfielder is wanted by Chelsea, Manchester United, Barcelona and Real Madrid, but could cost around £70m, should any of the interest become concrete, according to The Times.

The German attacker has seen his career nosedive since he scored the winner in the 2014 World Cup final, things just haven’t gone his way. But ex-boss Jurgen Klopp is keen on resigning the 24-year-old to boost his Liverpool side in the summer.
