Premier League heavyweights Liverpool have been credited with interest in Freiburg midfielder Merlin Rohl. Renowned journalist Fabrizio Romano thinks the Reds are not focused on bolstering the midfield but suggests that Sporting Director Richard Hughes may have come across him.<\/p>\n
Freiburg midfielder Rohl has emerged as one of the most promising players in the Bundesliga this season. The 22-year-old possesses excellent ball control, is a good passer, and has impressive vision for his age. According to Christian Falk, Liverpool sent scouts to watch him and have since put him on their shortlist of potential transfer targets. Aware of the Merseysiders’ interest, Freiburg tied Rohl to an improved contract on September 18, 2024. The club, however, has not confirmed the length of Rohl’s current contract.<\/p>\n
The extension has undoubtedly made Rohl a little more difficult to attain, but Liverpool is reportedly not throwing in the towel just yet, with reports continuing to link the club with the midfielder.<\/p>\n
In his Daily Briefing column for CaughtOffside, Italian journalist Fabrizio Romano addressed the rumors, saying:<\/p>\n
“I\u2019ve seen the stories about Liverpool\u2019s interest in Freiburg\u2019s Merlin Rohl, but at the moment I don\u2019t have confirmation on Liverpool working on this deal. Liverpool\u2019s focus is currently on different areas, but also for Rohl at the moment there are no concrete contacts ongoing.<\/em><\/p>\n
