Liverpool will reportedly go head-to-head with Juventus to sign Lazio defender Stefan de Vrij in January.
According to Calciomercato, the Reds will turn to the Dutchman as a cheaper alternative to his compatriot Virgil van Dijk, but the Bianconeri have also made his signature a "priority" this winter.
The 25-year-old could be available in a cut-price deal as he is in the final year of his contract in Rome.
Liverpool tracked Van Dijk throughout the summer but were unable to sign him or bring in any other defensive reinforcements in central positions.
