"?Liverpool may be forced to wait until next summer before they can sign Mahmoud Dahoud, "?Goal report.
Dahoud broke into Borussia Monchengladbach's starting XI last season and he went on to make 41 appearances in all competitions.
Jurgen Klopp is a huge admirer of the talented 20-year-old but he may have to wait before he can convince him to join the Reds.
After selling Granit Xhaka to Arsenal for £25m, Monchengladbach are hugely reluctant to lose another one of their star players and they are set to knock back any and all advances.
The Germany Under-21 international has been billed as a hot prospect after grabbing five goals in the Bundesliga last campaign and he would command a transfer fee of £20m.
Manchester City and Manchester United are both monitoring Dahoud's situation, yet Liverpool are determined to secure his signature as Klopp embarks on revamping the first-team squad.
The Merseyside-based outfit believe they hold the edge over their Premier League rivals because the promising youngster shares the same agent as Emre Can and Samed Yesil who are already on their books.
However, if they fail to convince Monchengladbach to sell then they will return next summer, although they will have to be wary of his value skyrocketing if he continues to shine.
