Bayern Munich winger Danijel Pranjic is reportedly unhappy with life at the Allianz Arena under new coach Jupp Heynckes, according to team-mate Ivica Olic.
The 29-year-old was one of the star performers under previous boss Louis van Gall but has played just two minutes as a substitute this season.
Pranjic, who has made 39 appearances for Croatia, helped Bayern win the title two seasons ago and last year made 28 league appearances and was a regular in the Champions League.
Liverpool was strongly linked with the midfielder over the summer and could now offer the winger a chance to play regular first team football by making an offer in January.
The midfielder’s contract expires at the end of the season and it has been suggested that Bayern may decide to sell in January, rather than letting him leave on a free in the summer.
Pranjic's club-mate Olic has revealed that his fellow Croatian is becoming frustrated with a lack of first team opportunities.
"It is definitely no easy situation for Danijel," Olic told German newspaper Bild. "I have told him that he should not give up. He needs to go on working hard in training and giving his very best in those sessions.
"Bayern Munich is a big club, we are playing a lot of competitive matches. We almost have a match every three days. He needs to believe in his chance regarding the first team."
Liverpool signed a left winger in the summer as Stewart Downing arrived from Aston Villa but the England midfielder is often asked to play on the right and Reds boss Kenny Dalglish could deploy Pranjic on the left.
