Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp reportedly identifies AZ Alkmaar midfielder Teun Koopmeiners as a potential replacement for Georginio Wijnaldum.

Liverpool will reportedly move for AZ Alkmaar midfielder Teun Koopmeiners if they part ways with Georginio Wijnaldum this summer.

With less than three months remaining on his contract, Wijandlum is increasingly likely to depart Anfield on a free transfer.

The departure of the Netherlands international would force Jurgen Klopp to enter the transfer market for a direct replacement.

According to AS, Liverpool are likely to make an official approach for Koopmeiners, who has been one of the stars of the Eredivisie this season.

The 23-year-old has contributed 15 goals and five assists in the Dutch top flight, helping AZ challenge PSV Eindhoven for second spot behind Ajax.

Inter Milan, Napoli, Roma and Sevilla are also said to be monitoring the situation, aware that AZ will cash in their key player if they do not qualify for the Champions League.
