Klopp sent LFC scouts to watch Dahoud
Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp had his scouts check out Mahmoud Dahoud during Borussia Monchengladbach's hammering at Manchester City on Wednesday.
Dahoud, who was a summer transfer target for the Reds, was on the receiving end of a 4-0 defeat to Pep Guardiola’s side in the Champions League with Sergio Aguero scoring a hat-trick and Kelechi Iheanacho completing the rout.
Klopp is understood to be plotting a £25million bid for the 20-year-old German under-21 international when the transfer window opens in January.
The Reds were keen on securing a deal for Dahoud in the summer but were forced to abandon their move with the Bundesliga outfit determined to keep hold of their talisman.
However, it is claimed Dahoud, whose deal at Gladbach ends in 2018, is refusing to sign a new contract.
He has a release clause of £8.3m which can be triggered in 2017.
The former Syrian born refugee, whose parents fled from the Assad regime in 1996, is also wanted by Italian giants Juventus.
