Liverpool have contacted Nurnberg over a summer transfer for Stefanos Tzimas. The forward has racked up eight goals in 15 Bundesliga 2 appearances this term and has drawn interest from Chelsea, Brighton and Aston Villa. The Greek under-21 international has seen the Reds act as they look to lay the groundwork over a deal, per reports.
Tzimas is currently on loan with Nurnberg from PAOK but the German side are in control of his future as they have the possibility of activating his €18million (£15.2m) buy option. A swift exit looks set to be on the cards for the striker however, with the Bavarian side eyeing an easy profit.
Sporting director Olaf Rebbe admitted a move for Tzimas could be possible come the end of the season. The 46-year-old said: “We won’t give up any top performers in the winter, but with a view to the summer, we are of course already looking at a few options.”.

Liverpool are already reported to be willing to party ways with €30m (£25.2m) to secure Tzimas' signature. The young sharpshooter. Speaking to German publication BILD, he said: "I try to do my best every day and do my part to ensure a successful season. We’ll see what happens in the summer.
"I want to play in the Premier League at some point. But there is still a lot to do until then, and at the moment I am in the right place at the club for my personal development.". Tzimas is not the only player to be linked with a move to Anfield in recent weeks. Boss Arne Slot has made it clear that he will not comment on rumours however.
