LIVERPOOL are considering a swoop for Borussia Dortmund winger Donyell Malen, according to reports.
The Reds risk losing star man Mohamed Salah in January amid mega-money interest from Saudi Arabia.
Al-Ittihad launched a last-minute £150million bid for the Egyptian on transfer deadline day.
However, Liverpool turned down the huge offer and refused to sell their star man at the last minute.
Club chiefs are now said to be bracing themselves for another bid in January.
And Jurgen Klopp has been scouting for a potential replacement just in case Salah does move on.
