Liverpool are reportedly set to hand Jack Butland a career lifeline and bring an end to his seven-year stay at Stoke City as they line up a shock move for the goalkeeper.
With the domestic transfer window between Premier League and Football League clubs open until Friday, Liverpool are said to be weighing up their options for a back-up to the injured Alisson Becker.
Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has concerns over the form of reserve goalkeeper Adrian after his side's 7-2 defeat to Aston Villa last weekend.
According to the Mirror, Butland is of interest to Liverpool and as one of Stoke's highest-paid players, the move would suit both parties given he he has 12 months left on his contract.
