Liverpool Midfielder Emerges As Bayern Munich Target

Liverpool midfielder Lucas Leiva has reportedly become a transfer target for Bayern Munich.

Bayern head coach Jupp Heynches is thought to be drawing up a list of potential recruits for both the winter transfer window and the end of the season, and according to Insidefutbol.com, Lucas is high on that wishlist.

The Bundesliga heavyweights are aware of the Brazilian midfielder's importance to the Liverpool side, but are reportedly prepared to offer €15m in an attempt to make the Reds negotiate.

The 24-year-old was signed by former Liverpool boss Rafa Benitez from Gremio in 2007 and he arrived in England with a promising reputation.

Despite taking a couple of seasons to adapt to the Premier League, Lucas has established himself as a crucial part of the Liverpool midfield.

It is unclear whether Lucas would be interested in a move to Bayern, but with Liverpool out of the Champions League and the club adrift in the title race, he could be tempted by the thought of moving o the Allianz-Arena.
