Liverpool have reportedly placed Borussia Dortmund midfielder Felix Nmecha on their transfer shortlist as they explore options to bolster their midfield. Sky Sports Deutschland reports that Liverpool have contacted the 26-year-old's representatives to sound out a potential move, though no immediate bid is expected. The Anfield club reportedly view Nmecha as a backup permanent transfer target to Monaco's Lamine Camara and Bournemouth's Alex Scott.

Nmecha, who remains under contract at Borussia Dortmund until 2030, previously attracted scrutiny for past social media activity, prompting Dortmund to insert an 'Instagram clause' that reportedly carries fines up to €1m for violating club values. The Germany midfielder has previously denied being homophobic or transphobic, arguing that past posts were taken out of context.
