Liverpool
Liverpool really respect Mkhitaryan. It's not a very well guarded secret. On the contrary, you might even go so far as to say that, well...it’s a fact.
Reds boss Jurgen Klopp has admitted his admiration for the clever midfielder in the recent past, and this season’s beaten Europa League finalists have been linked with the former Shakhtar Donetsk man, so it's not beyond the realm of possibility that space has already been set aside in the chequebook for a reunion of two true Borussen.
There is real hope that the “Normal One” can adorn their trophy cabinet with some accolades next season and it’s easy to see why. With Brendan Rodgers’ squad, Klopp brought Liverpool to two cup finals, has lost only three times at home since his arrival and has revitalised the club with passion and vivacity.
However, with Mario Gotze seemingly snubbing Liverpool (according to his father) and Granit Xhaka’s move to Arsenal all but completed, the Pool are quickly running out of desirable options to help give them the boost they need to properly compete as well as allowing the manager to go one step closer to creating his Merseyside gesamtkunstwerk.
That might just be enough to force their hand quicker than most.
