It promises to be a summer of transition at Liverpool after the club bid farewell to Jurgen Klopp.

While Reds fans await news of who will replace the title-winning German in the Anfield dugout, the club know regardless of who follows Klopp, work will be needed in the transfer market.

Centre-back is one position that is likely to be a priority for Liverpool, with an update on one player linked to the club emerging in Germany.

Sky Deutschland journalist Florian Plettenberg has an update regarding the chase for the 22-year-old, reporting that both Liverpool and Arsenal remain interested in signing him after having both made contact over a deal.

He won't come cheap however, as the report adds that Eintracht have slapped a price tag of between EUR50million and EUR60million on the Ecuador international.

In FourFourTwo's view, this hefty price tag is likely to cool Anfield interest in the youngster, who has just one season of experience in one of Europe's big leagues.
