Pundit Exclusive: 'World-class' Liverpool target may already have move lined up
Danny Mills is adamant Bayern Munich defender David Alaba already has a move lined up amid interest from Liverpool.
The former England international, speaking exclusively to Football Insider correspondent Dylan Childs, suggested that the 28-year-old is likely to sign a pre-contract with a “top club” in January.
Alaba, who is out of contract next summer, rejected Bayern Munich’s latest offer of a new deal and looks set to leave the Allianz Arena in 2021.
Football Insider revealed last Wednesday that the Austria international is a potential target for the Reds after star defender Virgil van Dijk suffered an ACL injury.
Jurgen Klopp’s side have fielded inexperienced centre-halves Rhys Williams and Nathaniel Phillips while Joel Matip, Fabinho and van Dijk have been sidelined.

“It would be very difficult to win the title and challenge for the Champions League with a very inexperienced back four.
“I am sure a lot of the top clubs will be looking at Alaba.
“He can sign a pre-contract in January and I would be very, very surprised if he does not have something lined up already because he is world class. A player of that ability, that class, that pedigree will not wait for an auction come the end of the season.
“If he has not signed a new contract there is obviously a reason. I would suggest something is pencilled in. He will have a good idea of where he is going.”
