The person – or boy – tipped to be on the Reds’ radar is Jamal Musiala, who has shot to stardom during the last three years with Bayern Munich.
Signed from the Chelsea academy in 2019, Musiala has already performed 133 video games for the Bundesliga giants, with 32 targets and 25 assists to his title.

And it’s the Magpies who wish to supply Phillips extra recreation time – they’re readying an method for the 27-year-old in January, in line with The Northern Echo.
Newcastle signed Sandro Tonali from AC Milan for £52m in the summertime however he’s typically operated extra as a No.8 (and will not be enjoying for some time anyway), and Bruno Guimaraes would in all probability thrive in the same box-to-box position.
They lack a defensive midfielder, and Eddie Howe is alleged to view Phillips as the best candidate for that position.
