The central midfield area has emerged as a weak spot in Liverpool's setup under Andoni Iraola this season. The club sold Curtis Jones without bringing in a replacement.
While Trey Nyon and James McConnell have been promoted to the first team, the midfield clearly lacks depth. Wataru Endo seems to be out of the new manager's plans, meaning the club will undoubtedly be weighing up a move in the January transfer window or next summer.
According to German publication Fussball News, scouts from both Liverpool and Manchester City are keeping a close eye on 25-year-old midfielder Felix Nmecha of Borussia Dortmund.
Reports suggest that representatives from Liverpool were present at a recent match against Paderborn (3-0), where Nmecha netted a brace.
Both English clubs are considering a potential winter transfer, with Dortmund reportedly looking to fetch between €80 million and €90 million for their star player.
Nmecha spent several years in Manchester City's academy before moving to Wolfsburg in 2021. A return to his former club could prove more appealing to him, complicating matters for Liverpool.
As it stands, neither side has entered into formal negotiations with Borussia Dortmund, but the interest in the German international is tangible. The situation may heat up as the January transfer window approaches.
