According to speculation, Jurgen Klopp's reigning Bundesliga champions are prepared to offer £3million (€3.5m) for the 17-year-old forward. Bittencourt is under contract until the summer of 2014, but second division Cottbus may not want to ignore a profitable bid for the Germany youth international.

"We all know he is watched by many clubs and I assume there will soon be a decision on his future."
