Liverpool face having to look elsewhere regarding their push for Werder Bremen striker Milot Rashica.

That's according to BILD's head of sport, Christian Falk.

He told lfctransferroom.com: “According to our information Liverpool were interested in Rashica, but then the new coach of Leipzig, Julian Nagelsmann, came to the RasenBallsport side. He spoke to Rashica and convinced him to join them.

"After that, Rashica had his head geared toward joining Leipzig. Leipzig wants the player, but for significantly less than the 38 million Euros of his release clause. There are no concrete negotiations yet between the clubs. Speculation of a 15 million offer or more is realistic."
