The Reds have tabled a bid for Athletic Bilbao star Iker Muniain, according to Spanish newspaper Marca.
The 25-year-old has spent his entire career at Bilbao, making 357 appearances, scoring 51 times.
The Spaniard’s current contract expires at the end of this season, with the report claiming an approach has been made with a view to bring him to Merseyside during next summer’s transfer window.
The winger had been refered to as ‘The Spanish Messi’, after breaking through into the first-team for Los Leones at the age of sixteen.
Injury issues
Injuries sustained in recent years could put Jurgen Klopp off the prospect of signing the once capped Spanish International.
