Speculation has also been rife surrounding RB Leipzig forward Timo Werner, who has 30 goals in 39 appearances this season.

He has been linked with several clubs
across Europe, including Liverpool, but reports have suggested the Anfield club are reluctant to pay his £52m release clause before it expires on June 15.

Fjortoft says there is no doubt the 24-year-old German is good enough for Liverpool, but the move will depend on whether Liverpool really want him.

"He is good enough for Liverpool, and as with any team, when the best talent in Europe is available, they have to go for him.

"If you see Timo Werner this year, with Julien Nagelsmann, this big prospect of managers, he has turned him into a more complete player. He is now going deeper, a more complete player, and Nagelsmann should be proud of that.

"Timo Werner said if he will leave RB Leipzig, it will be abroad. Do I think he will go to Liverpool? It is hard to say in these times, as RB Leipzig's CEO said there is no chance you will get a cut price for Timo Werner, but let's be honest, if Liverpool want a player, they will get that player!"
