Liverpool sporting director Jorg Schmadtke has talked about the players the club is targeting this summer.
The 59-year-old is on a short term deal as part of manager Jurgen Klopp's recruitment team.
After securing Alexis Mac Allister and Dominik Szoboszlai, the Reds are seeking other midfield options, which could be from the German market.
Speaking to Sky Sports, he said: "Of course there are always players in Germany who are attractive.
Then my experience on the market is in demand. Because of course I know a little bit about how payment is made, how the other side proceeds in negotiations.
"The German market is my home market and easier for me, of course. But it's not like we've all pointed our telescopes to Germany."
