THOMAS MULLER is a reportedly a target for Arsenal, Chelsea and Liverpool.
The Germany striker has been described as “unsalable” by Bayern Munich CEO Karl-Heinz Rummenigge.
But Bild claim three Premier League clubs and Juventus are poised to test Rummenigge's resolve.
Jurgen Klopp is said to have made it clear he wants Muller in his team and has asked Liverpool chiefs to make enquiries.
The report also suggests that talks could take place when Reds visit Munich for the Audi Cup at the start of August.
Muller has long been linked with a move away from the Allianz Arena, with Manchester United previously keen.
United failed in their advances, with the Bavarian giants unflinching in their stance that he was not for sale.
However, Bayern brought in James Rodriguez from Real Madrid on a two-year loan deal last week.
And that could see Muller slip even further down the pecking order after his disastrous Euro 2016 showings.
Muller, who has 37 goals in 85 games for Germany, fired a blank during his country’s six games in the competition.

Klopp has spoken of Daniel Sturridge being in the best shape he has seen him in the German’s time at the club.
But the the injury-prone England international is the Reds boss’ only out-and-out striker.
Klopp has cash to spend and has seen a £66m offer for midfielder Naby Keita rejected by RB Leipzig.
