Liverpool could meet Mario Balotelli's Nice in their Champions League qualifier this summer.
Nice could face Jurgen Klopp's men in the two-legged August qualifier.
The Reds will enter the competition in the play-off round and the draw will take place on August 4 – with first leg ties taking place on August 15 and 16 with the second legs a week later (August 22, 23).
Sporting CP, Istanbul BB and German surprise package Hoffenheim are also teams that could be on a collision course with Liverpool.
