What a season Liverpool have had. The Reds are inches away from the Premier League title and nobody can argue that they don’t deserve it this term.

Jurgen Klopp has transformed the side into world-beaters. There are very few areas where Liverpool genuinely need additions ahead of next season, but they have been linked with a whole host of players.

One such player is Werder Bremen’s Milot Rashica. The 25-cap Kosovo international has had an impressive campaign in the Bundesliga this season, scoring 10 goals and providing four assists in all competitions.

Bild claimed back in February that Liverpool were keeping an eye on the attacker who had a £13 million release clause which expired on the 15th of June.

Rashica has another clause in his contract which makes him available for a whopping £34.3 million this summer.

Gianluca Di Marzio claimed earlier this week that Milan were favourites to sign him. However, Liverpool will now have to battle another European club to land Rashica in the coming months.

German outlet Deich Stube have claimed that Bundesliga side Hertha Berlin have joined the race for Rashica this summer.

The capital club are eyeing an European adventure thanks to the recent entry of wealthy investor Lars Windhorst.

Hertha are very interested in the Kosovan international. They feel that a Bundesliga-experienced, young, fast striker like Rashica could be of great help next season.

Both Milan and Hertha are better placed to offer Rashica consistent game time next term. However, a chance to join the European champions doesn’t come knocking every day, and it wouldn’t be a surprise to see him pick Liverpool over the other interested parties this summer.
