Liverpool are said to be mulling over making a swoop for Inter Milan centre-back Milan Skriniar following the injury to star first-teamer Virgil van Dijk.
The Dutch defensive colossus could be sidelined for the coming weeks, according to the Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp who could be looking to dip into the transfer market for a new signing to provide cover in the centre-back role.
According to a report from 90min, it is hinted that the Reds are keeping tabs on the in-demand Serie A star Skriniar with the Serbian international rumoured to be close to leaving the Inter Milan fold.
Liverpool have reached out to Inter over the possibility of a January transfer to Anfield despite the Italian club keen to retain defender beyond the end of this month as he heads into free agency in the summer.
The 27-year-old is also wanted by the Ligue 1 giants Paris Saint-Germain who are on the search for an ideal replacement to fill the void left by Sergio Ramos with the veteran Spaniard close to joining Saudi outfit Al Nassr.
