Liverpool have top attacking players in the squad such as the likes of Philippe Coutinho and Roberto Firmino. Moreover, Jurgen Klopp added another quality playmaker to his team by signing Sadio Mane from Southampton this summer.
Still, reports in the media suggest that the German manager is looking to further reinforce his attacking midfield by signing Wolfsburg star Julian Draxler.
According to reports (Telegraph via Liverpool Echo), the former Borussia Dortmund boss is keen on bringing the 22-year-old attacker to Anfield.
Capable of playing anywhere in the offense, the versatile playmaker featured in 24 league games for the Bundesliga side last season and directly contributed in 12 goals (6 goals and 6 assists). Overall, the former Schalke attacker scored 9 goals and provided 8 assists in 35 appearances for Wolfsburg.
According to Mirror, the German club are ready to sell Draxler but they want a mammoth fee of 55 million pounds for their prized asset.
Julian has already won the World Cup with the national side and was part of the German squad that lost in the semi-finals of the European Championships.

Though a good player that fee is outrageous.
No. That’s greed money.
Of course yes! If the club feel they can afford him (they can!) then the only thing that matters is how good he is and Draxler is very very good indeed. We need to make a statement-making signing to go along with our positive signings of Mane, Grunic, Karius and Matip. We are making money by selling the likes of Jordan, Benteke, etc so I’m happy to leave our accountants to worry about the payments, I only care about on the pitch!
If Klopp wants him buy him. There is a few more players in the team who need to be moved on in my opinion. Not good enough if you want to win. Klopp will move them on when the next window opens if they don’t show a fair amount of improvement. We have to trust his judgement on players and back him all the way. He has a better eye for players than the last bloke by a million miles. I like the way the club is moving and I am excited about the coming season. The real excitement will be this time next year .
