Liverpool and Arsenal will reportedly go head-to-head to sign Schalke midfielder Max Meyer this summer amid rumours Barcelona have dropped their interest in him.
According to Mundo Deportivo (h/t the Mirror), the Blaugrana have withdrawn from the race, leaving the Premier League duo as the front-runners for his signature, with Meyer thought to be high on Arsenal's wish list.
The Gunners continue to be without the injured Santi Cazorla, and Jack Wilshere is yet to sign a new deal. The Reds did not replace Philippe Coutinho after he moved to Barcelona in January, and Emre Can's contract is also up at the end of the season.
