Liverpool could miss out on one of their summer targets after it was suggested that PSV-Eindhoven winger Dries Mertens prefers a move to Germany.
According to a report in The Sun, Liverpool have sent scouts to watch the winger on a number of occasions this season as manager Kenny Dalglish looks to add balance to his squad.
The Reds already have Stewart Downing on the left, but this season have looked out of shape when playing either Dirk Kuyt or Jordan Henderson on the right hand side of midfielder.
Mertens has been in sensational goal-scoring form for the Dutch side this season as he has scored 18 league goals in 26 games, including netting four ties in a 7-1 win over Roda JC.
The 24-year-old was signed by PSV from Utrecht in a joint deal with Kevin Strootman, the duo costing €13million in the summer.
However, a source told The Sun that the Belgium international would prefer a move to German league leaders Bayern Munich. "He has been asking his friends about life in Germany and he has been encouraged by what he has heard."
