Liverpool are chasing Barcelona winger Jeffren Suarez for the summer market.
The Sunday Mirror says it will cost the Reds £8.7million to prise the former Spain under-21 star out of the Nou Camp.
That is the price the 23-year-old has on his head because of the buy-out clause inserted into his contract by the Spanish champions.
But Reds boss Kenny Dalglish is happy to meet Barca's valuation after running a series of form checks on the Venezuela-born star.
