Liverpool continue to be linked with the Germany international, with reports claiming a £20m bid could be on the way.

Despite allaying those initial injury fears over Moreno, the question marks hanging over the full-back's suitability at Liverpool remain.

And it's those doubts that have seen Milan's dynamic left-back De Sciglio linked with a move to Merseyside. 

It has been reported that the Reds are readying a £16m bid for the Italy international, who has also attracted interest from Napoli.

Speaking after PSV's recent win over Feyenoord, Willems revealed that he could be leaving the club this summer.

"There are a number of clubs that have been in touch," the defender reportedly told Fox Sports.
