According to German news outlet Sport Bild, Liverpool are interested in signing Red Bull Salzburg midfielder Luka Sucic. 

The Reds have developed a penchant for signing players with ties to the Red Bull franchise in recent years, landing ex-Salzburg stars Sadio Mane, Naby Keita and Takumi Minamino before Ibrahima Konate arrived from RB Leipzig.

Now as Jurgen Klopp and soon-to-be new sporting director Julian Ward set about rejuvenating the Anfield squad, another talented Red Bull ace could be on the radar.

The latest: Sucic an 'ideal candidate'

As per the report from Sport Bild, Liverpool could view 19-year-old Red Bull Salzburg sensation Sucic as the 'ideal candidate' to bolster their midfield.

Despite the seemingly imminent arrivals of Fulham starlet Fabio Carvalho and Celtic teenager Ben Doak, it's claimed that there is a 'need for further reinforcements' in the summer transfer window as Jordan Henderson and Thiago both hit 31 this year.

Furthermore, it is stated that Serie A powerhouses Juventus and AC Milan have also shown an interest in the four-cap Croatia under-21 international.

The verdict: Liverpool planning ahead

Recent captures such as Harvey Elliott, Kaide Gordon and Bobby Clark have underpinned a determination to secure the future success of Liverpool whilst still competing at the top table in the present.

So far this season, Sucic has scored seven times and provided three assists from 37 appearances across all competitions, also making a senior bow for the senior Croatian national side in November 2021.

Recently described as a 'gem' in the list of the 50 most exciting teenagers in world football (FourFourTwo), signing the attack-minded midfielder - who has 'big potential' according to Leeds United manager Jesse Marsch -  would be another example of planning ahead, also giving Klopp an opportunity to integrate a fresh face into the Anfield ranks.
