Stoke City goalkeeper Jack Butland reportedly decides that he would like to join Liverpool when he is given permission to leave the bet365 Stadium.

Stoke City goalkeeper Jack Butland has reportedly decided that he would like to join Liverpool later in his career.

Since returning from a serious ankle injury, Butland has re-established himself as number one at the Potters and is in contention to replace Joe Hart as first-choice stopper for England.

However, Butland is already weighing up a transfer to a bigger club during the summer and according to Football.London, the 24-year-old wants to join Liverpool.

Chelsea have previously been linked with an approach for Butland due to the uncertainty surrounding Thibaut Courtois, who is said to want a transfer to Real Madrid at some point during the next 18 months.

Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp allegedly does not see Butland as a top target ahead of next season, but it appears that the goalkeeper would prefer a switch to Anfield over Stamford Bridge.

Butland still has three and a half years remaining on his contract at the bet365 Stadium.
