Liverpool are preparing a bid to sign Bayern Munich forward Thomas Muller from under the noses of Premier League rivals Manchester United.
German publication Bild is reporting Anfield has emerged as a possible destination for the 25-year-old, despite Muller being heavily linked with a move to Old Trafford in recent weeks.
Muller is understood to be the number one transfer target of United boss Louis van Gaal, although Bayern Chief Executive Karl-Heinz Rummenigge has said the German international is not for sale under any circumstance.
Rummenigge's stance has not deterred Liverpool however, with Reds manager Brendan Rodgers keen to make Muller the newest addition to his squad.
