Liverpool are believed to be monitoring his situation, while Sport insist Chelsea and Arsenal are also interested.
Jurgen Klopp’s Reds’ need for a new goalkeeper is well-known, given Loris Karius’ high-profile blunders in the Champions League final.

The Dutchman was Holland’s No 1 at the 2014 World Cup and Louis van Gaal famously replaced him with Tim Krul before the quarter-final penalty shoot-out.
