Turkish newspaper HaberTürk have stated that the Merseyside club have been monitoring Medjani in recent months and are preparing a €3 million bid for the 30-year-old.

“I am not happy at all with the operation”, Medjani told France Football.

I’ve never spoken to this site [which quoted me] and there has been absolutely no contact with Liverpool.”
