Deal Done: Liverpool set to sign this world class forward by making him the team’s highest paid player

Jurgen Klopp's side are closing in on signing World Cup winning superstar Mario Gotze, with The Daily Express confirming that the new incoming Bayern boss Carlo Ancelotti has already sanctioned the 23-year-old superstar's move away from the Allianz Arena.

The Reds have been tagged as the favorites to sign the former Borussia Dortmund man, who is on top of Klopp's wish list for this summer.

The report further adds that Gotze had also made enquiries about life at the Merseyside, which could be a clear hin that he is planning to join the Premier League giants in the near future. However, the most important part is that the club want to make him one of their highest paid stars, if he does decide to make the move.

After confirming the signing of Grujic and Matip, Gotze could become Klopp’s 3rd signing, with the German boss quite keen on strengthening his current squad prior to the start of the new campaign.As per how things stand now, it seems that a deal could go through prior to the start of the Euros. Gotze has just 12 months remaining on his current contract after he had signed a 4-year deal when he made the move from Dortmund in 2013. He will be available for a fee of around £20m, with the Bundesliga champions looking to cash in on him.

Gotze was not played much by Pep Guardiola, which has made him quite unhappy and he wishes to leave. It will be interesting to see whether the Kop boss can now take advantage of that or not.
