Liverpool are being linked with Juventus striker Amauri. The Daily Mail says Liverpool have accepted fullback Glen Johnson fancies a move abroad.
Juve are desperate to accommodate his wishes and have asked whether they can sign him in January, despite only being able to meet Liverpool's asking price of around £12million at the end of the season. Intriguingly, Liverpool may try to exploit Juve's lack of funds by requesting that Brazilian-born Italy marksman Amauri is included in any deal for Johnson.
Finding a strike partner for Fernando Torres is another pressing transfer priority for Liverpool manager Roy Hodgson, and Amauri is described as a British-style centre forward.
Amauri's name was raised during a recent meeting between Juve technical director Fabio Paratici and Liverpool director of football strategy Damien Comolli.
After stressing their eagerness to sign Johnson, but admitting it could only be on loan to begin with, Paratici indicated a willingness to part with Amauri once he has recovered from injury.
