Liverpool’s hopes of signing Australia goalkeeper Matthew Ryan have been boosted after Ryan’s agent revealed his client is interested in a move to England.
Brendan Rodgers is said to be looking for a new number one goalkeeper, to replace the failing Simon Mignolet.
If the transfer were to go through, the 22 year old would link up with fellow Aussie ‘keeper Brad Jones.
Ryan’s agent Mikkel Beck insists a move is not likely in this transfer window, with the goalkeeper currently representing the Socceroos at the Asia Cup.
“I have read the reports that Liverpool are watching Mat, but I am unaware of concrete interest from them,” Beck said to Goal.
“It is normal that there are rumours surrounding him as he is a top talent. We will sit down in the summer and talk about things, and if there is something concrete and something special that comes up, we will consider it.
“Playing in the Premier League would be of interest to Mat, as it is one of the best leagues in the world, and knowing how ambitious Mat is, it is the kind of league he would like to play in.
“He is happy at Brugge but if concrete interest comes we will sit down and have a discussion.”
