Philippe Coutinho could be key to Liverpool's transfer business in January - because he is pushing Thomas Muller out of the Bayern Munich team.
Former Liverpool attacker Coutinho has jumped ahead of Muller in the Bayern pecking order since joining on loan from Barcelona in the summer, with Muller having started the last five matches on the bench.
Muller, 30, has reportedly decided to leave Bayern due to his lack of playing time, and will be on the radar of Premier League clubs ahead of the transfer window opening in the new year.
While he could be a target for Manchester United, who are desperate to improve their attacking options, Muller has also been linked with Liverpool after Jurgen Klopp reportedly tried to sign him in 2017.
