# Liverpool and Chelsea eye move for Bundesliga ace

***The Liverpool fans in the Football Transfer Tavern are particularly keen on this deal…***

Chelsea and Liverpool are both expected to get involved in the January transfer window, and it would appear that both Conte and Klopp are already plotting…

[According to BILD,](https://www.bild.de/bundesliga/1-liga/saison-2016-2017/spielbericht-borussia-dortmund-gegen-fc-schalke-04-am-9-Spieltag-46904452.bild.html) both Liverpool and Chelsea are eyeing a January move for Schalke defender Sead Kolašinac, whose contract expires at the end of the season.

As a result, he would likely be available on a cut-price fee in January, or on a free next summer.

Kolašinac is a 23-year-old left back, and has been impressing when given an opportunity for Schalke so far this season. He’s made 4 league starts so far this year.

A few of the Liverpool fans leaning by the bar have lauded this proposed deal as a masterstroke, with James Milner currently filling in for Alberto Moreno on the left-hand side.

Chelsea, on-the-other-hand, have significantly more depth, having captured both Marcos Alonso and David Luiz over the summer – but the arrival of Kolašinac would allow Azpilicueta to move to the right-hand side on a full-time basis.

Our landlord thinks that Kolašinac could be in demand come January…
