Liverpool have tabled an offer to sign Athletic Bilbao star Iker Muniain, according to reports in Spain. Muniain has scored 51 goals in 357 appearances for Athletic since his first-team debut back in 2009 but the 25-year-old forward is being heavily linked with a move away from the San Mames Stadium. The Spain international is out of contract at the end of the season and Liverpool are battling it out with a number of clubs to land him on a free transfer. Marca suggests that Liverpool have already made an approach to bring Muniain to Anfield next summer. It’s claimed Serie A giants Napoli have also submitted an offer for the highly-rated winger. Muniain is in preliminary discussions with Athletic over a potential new deal but an agreement is yet to be reached between the two parties. Liverpool signed Alisson, Naby Keita, Fabinho and Xherdan Shaqiri ahead of the 2018/19 campaign, but missed out on the signing of Jurgen Klopp’s number one target, Nabil Fekir. Muniain is being eyed as a possible alternative to the Lyon forward. MORE: Julen Lopetegui issues classy statement after being sacked by Real Madrid
