At this stage, it’s almost a foregone conclusion that Raheem Sterling will be on his way out of Anfield with the destination likely to be Manchester City. However, the finer details of his move are likely to rumble on for some time yet, particularly in light of his inclusion in Liverpool’s 30-man squad for the Asia and Australia tour.

That hasn’t stopped the Reds being linked with every player with even a remotely similar playing style to the 20 year old winger, with some being more welcome than others.

Today the association of Marco Reus with a move to Liverpool has been very welcome indeed, and comes at a time when Liverpool could do with a signing of real star power, particularly after the recent departure of Steven Gerrard.

The German star recently signed a new contract at Dortmund, but is believed to be looking to move on after seeing Jurgen Klopp leave the club at the end of last season.

Reus was expected to end up at Real Madrid or Barcelona, but reports from talkSport (albeit, via the Metro) claim that Reus has gone off the idea of moving to Barcelona with the transfer ban still (tenuously) in place and the recent capture of Arda Turan from Atletico Madrid.

The Dortmund man’s rejection of the idea of a move to Barca has supposedly given Liverpool cause for confidence that some sort of transfer could be put together and are keen to bring Reus in to replace Sterling.
