Bayern Munich remain around £8.5m short of Liverpool's £42.5m valuation for Sadio Mane as talks continue.
Liverpool are continuing talks with Benfica over the structure of their bid for Darwin Nunez.
It is understood Bayern coach Julian Nagelsmann has spoken to Mane in recent days ahead of his move to the Bundesliga giants.
The Reds have already rejected two bids for Mane from the Bundesliga champions, the latest of which was a £30m offer tabled on Wednesday.
Liverpool treated it the same way as the one they received at the weekend, dismissing it out of hand with the feeling that the offer was derisory.
