Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp reportedly turned down the chance to sign Borussia Monchengladbach midfielder Florian Neuhaus earlier this summer.
Following Georginio Wijnaldum's exit and subsequent switch to Paris Saint-Germain, Liverpool were expected to sign a replacement for the Dutchman, and Neuhaus was heavily linked with a move.
However, the Reds entered September with no new faces in their midfield, with Klopp instead electing to hand opportunities to Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain and Harvey Elliott.
According to The Mirror, Monchengladbach were keen to offload Neuhaus this summer and offered Liverpool the chance to sign the 24-year-old, but Klopp decided against making a move.
The report adds that the Reds would have been able to sign Neuhaus for a cut-price figure of £21m, even with his contract at Monchengladbach not due to expire until the summer of 2024.
The six-cap Germany international has made 120 appearances for Monchengladbach in all competitions since 2018, scoring 16 goals and providing 20 assists.
