Transfer news: Liverpool interested in versatile Bundesliga playmaker who is set to become a free agent

Liverpool are showing interest in Bundesliga midfielder Daichi Kamada as Jurgen Klopp looks to strengthen his midfield options this summer, that’s according to Calciomercatoweb (via Caught Offside).

It is not surprising that clubs like Liverpool, Borussia Dortmund, and Benfica are keeping an eye on the 26-year-old central midfielder, who can also play as a No. 10 or on the left flank and had 16 goals and seven assists for Frankfurt this season (across all competitions) (The Athletic).

The Japan International has a’verbal agreement’ to sign with AC Milan as a free agent this summer, according to the same publication.

After Kamada decided not to extend his current contract with Frankfurt, the Serie A team reportedly made him an offer for a four-year agreement at the San Siro.

It’s therefore unlikely that Liverpool will now be able to change the versatile midfielder’s mind with a move to Milan all but confirmed but the prospect of playing Premier League football could appeal to him.

A free transfer may give Klopp, and FSG especially, some added incentive to target the player who would bring a lot of quality and creativity to our engine room.

It’ll be interesting to see how his potential move to Milan develops in the coming weeks with Liverpool potentially waiting to pounce if that deal doesn’t go through
