Liverpool Contact Aston Villa Man’s Agent But AC Milan Also Keen

Express Sport understands Jurgen Klopp is plotting a major overhaul at Anfield ahead of his first full season in charge and is desperate for reinforcement at left-back following the departure of Jose Enrique.

A report claims the Villans will consider bids of around £10.8 million for the French left-back.

This won’t be a transfer that excites many Liverpool fans, but if this rumour turns out to be true, Amavi could be a pleasant surprise.

Italian outfit AC Milan and French side Lyon are two of the other three clubs said to be interested, while the other remains unnamed.

The French youth global has been quite unfortunate this season, as he suffered an anterior cruciate ligament injury, which saw him miss the most of last season.

The left-back moved to Villa Park only last summer from Nice and initially impressed in the Premier League, averaging 3.6 tackles, 3.7 interceptions and 2.5 successful dribbles per match from ten outings.

Germany global Jonas Hector has also been linked, but reports of his potential transfer have gone quiet, while Raphael Guerreiro is moving to Borussia Dortmund instead.

Amavi, who has seven under-21 caps, was tipped to break into Didier Deschamps’ France squad prior to his injury.
