Olympique Lyon goalkeeper Hugo Lloris is wanted by Liverpool.
The Sun says the France No1 is a top target for Reds football chief Damien Comolli ahead of the summer market.
The Reds have contacted Lloris, who is considered the best keeper in Europe outside of England, Spain or Italy. The move was a clear indication Liverpool fear they will lose unsettled Pepe Reina.
They received a positive response, although Lloris has to decide whether to sign a new deal at Lyon.
He has two years left on his current contract.
He would cost around £20m, which means Liverpool would spend the entire fee they receive on Reina to replace him.
