Liverpool lead Inter Milan in the race to sign Udinese star Rodrigo De Paul, according to reports in Italy.
The 26-year-old midfielder is seen as potential replacement for Georginio Wijnaldum, who looks set to leave on a free transfer when his contract expires this summer.
Udinese are resigned to De Paul leaving the club at the end of the season and have slapped a £30million price tag on him.
But Liverpool are set to test their resolve with an offer of around £26m.
Earlier this month the club's sporting director Pasquale Marino admitted that even though the Argentinian's contract runs until 2024, the level of interest in him may mean a sale is inevitable.
