Liverpool give up on €42m PSG star
The Liverpool Echo claim that the Anfield side have given up on the Paris Saint-Germain star, despite the fact that Barcelona are still pursuing Philippe Coutinho.
The Reds haven’t exactly been playing at a high level this season, and an extra name in midfield would help.
Jurgen Klopp has, apparently, decided that the scorer of eight goals between Ligue 1 and Coupe de France competition last season was too expensive.
The former Borussia Coach is a longtime fan of Draxler’s, and has wanted him since the latter was at Wolfsburg and Schalke.
The Mirror wrote yesterday that the 24-year-old would be available for €32m, having been signed for €42m back in January.
The German is one of many players who are threatened by Neymar’s €222m move to the Capital, alongside Angel Di Maria and Javier Pastore.
Draxler is also liked by Manchester United and Arsenal.
