Liverpool and Real Madrid are set to go toe to toe for the signature of Diego Carlos in the summer. The Sevilla star has impressed scouts throughout the season in a standout campaign for the Brazilian.
The defender has a €75m release clause but the Spanish outfit are prepared to lower their asking price in this uncertain financial period.
Liverpool are on the lookout for a long-term partner to Virgil van Dijk. Dejan Lovren looks set to leave in the transfer window while Joel Matip is too injury-prone.
Joe Gomez has shown signs that he can become a viable partner but Jurgen Klopp is keen to bolster his options as he eyes maintaining the Reds grip on the top.
