Liverpool will make a 'concrete offer' for Borussia Monchengladbach midfielder Florian Neuhaus this summer, according to journalist Florian Plettenburg.
The Lowdown: Neuhaus links continue
The Reds could be expected to make more signings in the coming months after their difficult campaign, with centre-back Ibrahima Konate already arriving from RB Leipzig.
One player who has been continually linked with a move to Liverpool is Neuhaus, who is currently on Euro 2020 with Germany.
The 24-year-old featured in 33 of Monchengladbach's 38 Bundesliga matches last season, proving to be a key man in the middle of the park.
The Latest: Journalist provides update
Plettenburg, journalist and podcaster for SPORT1, has now given a fresh update on Liverpool's pursuit of Neuhaus, taking to Twitter to say:
"Update #Neuhaus (due to many inquiries): #LFC is definitely a highly interesting option for the player. A concrete offer for him is expected. It's also up to Klopp. However, a decision on his future will be made after the Euros."

The Verdict: Wijnaldum's replacement?
With Gini Wijnaldum leaving Liverpool for Paris Saint-Germain, a huge void is going to left in the Reds' midfield, given the Dutchman's influence there.
It could be that the £31.5million-rated Neuhaus is the man to solve that issue, thriving in a similar manner to Wijnaldum, even if they aren't too similar, in terms of playing style.
The German averaged three tackles per game in the Champions League in 2020/21, showing how effective he can be off the ball, but also chipped in with six goals and five assists in the league - end product was something Wijnaldum largely lacked, managing just two league goals and zero assists last term.
Neuhaus would, therefore, bring both attacking guile and defensive work-rate to Liverpool's team, making up for the loss of Wijnaldum in the process.
