Liverpool are preparing a bid for Burnley goalkeeper Nick Pope.

The Sun says Kop boss Jurgen Klopp wants competition for the job and will bid £15million for the Burnley ace.

Klopp axed Simon Mignolet last season while his successor Loris Karius endured a disaster in the Champions League final after he suffered concussion in the 3-1 loss to Real Madrid.

Pope — off to the World Cup with England — has two years left on his Clarets contract and would be far cheaper than the £70m touted for Brazil keeper Alisson at Roma.

And Burnley are unlikely to demand he stays given Tom Heaton has returned from shoulder surgery.
