Bologna manager Thiago Motta would be interested in taking on the Liverpool hotseats.

Motta is one of several coaches being linked with the post to replace Jurgen Klopp.

Motta, Ruben Amorim, Simone Inzaghi, and Roberto De Zerbi are a few of the names on the Reds' list.

Speaking to TMW Radio, Motta's agent Alessandro Canovi said: "The situation of the big names?

“The confirmation of Xabi Alonso at Bayer Leverkusen has opened up several important candidatures for Liverpool and Bayern Munich. And there's Barcelona. They are three interesting and very coveted benches right now."

“At the moment the only fact is that Motta has an expiring contract with Bologna. Will he stay at Bologna? I can't say, because I have no negotiations with anyone. You can't talk about things that aren't in place."
