3) Kevin Volland (1899 Hoffenheim, £17.5m)
The Daily Star claimed Liverpool were watching Volland, along with his Hoffenheim teammate Roberto Firmino, back in October. Volland and Firmino were linked with the club during the summer and remain on Brendan Rodgers’ transfer shortlist, but the report carries quotes from Hoffenheim sporting director Alexander Rose, who claimed he was confident the club will not be forced to sell either player in January. He said: “I’m relatively confident of their stay here. The possibility of a farewell is not something that concerns us in the short term.”
