Premier League outfit Liverpool have entered the race to sign German international Julian Brandt from Bundesliga side Bayer Leverkusen.

Juventus are also in the chase for the 22-year-old, according to Bild, who reports that the young German comes with a knockdown release clause this summer.

Leverkusen have struggled at times this season, but Brandt has managed four goals and 10 assists in the Bundesliga so far – only two players have more this term.

Interested clubs would only have to pay Brandt’s €25m release clause to enter negotiations with the player, who has long been linked with interest from Jurgen Klopp.
