Liverpool have been linked with their decision to sign Frankfurt star Evan Ndicka - and they can secure his signature without paying a transfer fee.
The 23-year-old midfielder will have his contract with Frankfurt expired this summer after five years with the German team.
Around this time, the Frenchman helped the team win the Europa League last season for the second time in its history, making 11 appearances in the competition.
Described by former head coach Adi Hutter as a "phenomenal" player, Ndicka is yet to make his debut for France but has represented them at age group level.

Last month, 90 Minutes claimed that Liverpool, Tottenham and Manchester City are all tracking the centre-back, who is 6ft 4in tall. Besides, PSG are also said to be fans of the player, while Manchester United and Newcastle have shown interest but decided not to add another left-back to their squad.
It could give Liverpool an opportunity to attack - but they will have to do it fast.

Ndicka to Liverpool?
One of the main obstacles that exist for the Red Devils is Roma.
This season's Europa League runners-up have approached the Frenchman about a move, and 90 Minutes report that Jose Mourinho's side are 'confident' they will secure his signature as a free agent. This gives Liverpool little time to strike a deal if they want to add Ndicka to their squad for next season.

As a left-footed centre-back, Ndicka will add competition to Virgil van Dijk, whose pace, stature and aerial ability make him perhaps the ideal choice for Jurgen Klopp's side for the price. reasonable. The Red Devils do not have a natural left-footed central defender in the first team.
Liverpool are expected to pay a training fee and OneFootball announced in January that Ndicka's agents had demanded a signing fee of 15 million euros.
However, for a player who has his best years ahead, has experience in the Champions League and has established himself in one of Europe's top five leagues, a move for Ndicka could be the thing. which Liverpool decided to continue before it was too late.
