Liverpool are considering a move for Brentford forward Kevin Schade, with the Germany international emerging as a potential target ahead of the January transfer window.
The 24-year-old has made an impressive start to the Premier League season, scoring three times in his first five league appearances. His form has reportedly prompted Liverpool to assess whether he could strengthen their attacking options.

Schade’s ability to operate in several forward positions is understood to be central to Liverpool’s interest. His pace, power and direct style could offer another dimension to the club’s attack.
Brentford have opened discussions with the player’s representatives over an improved contract as they attempt to secure his long-term future. Those talks have yet to produce an agreement, leaving the Bees facing the possibility of renewed interest from leading Premier League clubs.
Should negotiations stall, Liverpool could be in a position to pursue Schade when the transfer window reopens. However, any deal would require a sizeable investment, with Brentford reportedly seeking around £60 million for the forward.
Liverpool have not yet made a formal approach, and it remains unclear whether they will proceed with their interest. Brentford’s efforts to resolve the contract situation could prove important in determining Schade’s future.
