The Merseyside giants have already secured a new winger in Victor Munoz. The Spaniard was on course to join the Magpies, but the Reds hijacked the deal at the last hurdle<\/a> (\u00a334.5 million).<\/p>\n It was predicted that RB Leipzig\u2019s Yan Diomande would be their next priority to bolster the wide attacking department, but the Ivorian star has chosen Paris Saint-Germain<\/span><\/a> as his next club.<\/p>\n Fussball<\/em> Daten now claim that Andoni Iraola\u2019s side have joined the Magpies in the pursuit of El Mala, who could be permitted to leave Koln for a figure of around \u00a343 million this summer.<\/p>\n The Reds have identified him as a \u2018Plan B\u2019 solution to strengthen their wide attacking options ahead of next season.<\/p>\n El Mala made his Koln debut after their Bundesliga promotion last season. The 19-year-old had an impressive campaign, registering 13 goals and 5 assists from 36 appearances in the division. He averaged only 58 minutes per outing.<\/p>\n The German youth international primarily operated as a left-sided winger with some occasional appearances upfront. He is a player with huge potential, but his positional preference could dampen his prospects of joining the Reds.<\/p>\n The Anfield giants are well-equipped with options on the left side of their attack. They have Cody Gakpo and Rio Ngumoha as solutions alongside summer signing Munoz. The main concern remains on the opposite flank after Mohamed Salah<\/a>\u2019s exit.<\/p>\n El Mala also prefers to operate from the left flank. He has made just six appearances in his young career from the right wing, scoring 2 goals. Hence, we don\u2019t see the possibility of the Reds pursuing a deal for the highly-rated German ace.<\/p>\n The youngster turned down a move to Brentford recently in search of a more lucrative club. The speculation linking Liverpool could be agent-driven in order to invite offers from top European teams, who may have been monitoring him.<\/p>\n Liverpool are more likely to pursue a marquee solution for the right wing after the setback on Diomande. The Ivorian\u2019s potential move to PSG this summer could pave the way for Bradley Barcola\u2019s exit. The Reds are long-term admirers and could push to sign him instead.<\/p>\n \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t
According to Fussball Daten<\/span><\/a>, Liverpool<\/a> have joined Newcastle United<\/a> in the race to sign Koln winger Said El Mala.<\/strong><\/p>\nUnlikely deal<\/h3>\n
