Bayern Munich are reportedly targeting a move for Liverpool left-back Andy Robertson.
This is according to the Daily Mail who claim that the German giants are readying a move for the Scotland captain as he is seen as a potential replacement for Alphonso Davies, who looks set to join Real Madrid in the summer.
Robertson recently lifted the League Cup for the second time with the Anfield side as the Reds lifted the first trophy of a potential quadruple.
Manager Jurgen Klopp is set to depart at the end of the season and the report claims that a number of Liverpool stars are also considering their future, with Robertson being one of them.
The 28-year-old is under contract at Anfield until 2026.

Meanwhile, Neil Lennon has defended Brendan Rodgers' recent BBC interview after Celtic's 3-1 win over Motherwell.
A double from Adam Idah and a Luis Palma strike gave the Scottish champions all three points in Lanarkshire after a shaky start.
However, the Parkhead boss has come under scrutiny for his "good girl" comment to BBC reporter Jane Lewis during a post-match interview at Fir Park after he blasted the narrative he feels has been written about his side so far this season.
When pushed to explain the meaning of his comment by experienced journalist Lewis, Rodgers refused stating: "No, no. You know exactly what I mean. No."
Lewis said: "Can you tell us anymore, you're the one who brought that up so can you not give us some more on it?"
And then Rodgers ended the conversation, saying: "Okay, are we done? Good girl, well done, cheers."
Calls have since come for Rodgers to apologise for the comment with "casual sexism" referenced in response to the manager's remarks.
But Lennon has defended the 50-year-old, stating the angry reaction from the ex-Liverpool and Leicester City boss comes from a place of trying to create a siege mentality in the Hoops dressing room.
Speaking to PLZ Soccer, he said: "I would have done the same. Batten down the hatches. Don’t let anything out, don’t let anything in.
"It’s all about us and we will create our own story. And, ignore the noise. It’s difficult but the noise isn’t the reality.
"I mean they have had two defeats, haven’t they? I think Rangers have had four. So it’s the draws that are killing them at the minute.
"You are looking at it at half time and you are thinking it’s not good. The response was great. I think Idah gave them something they lacked - that physical presence.
"They have needed that type of striker for these physical games. So they just have to keep rolling, and I like Brendan Rodgers reaction."
