Liverpool expect Manchester City to challenge Barcelona for defender Dan Agger. The Daily Star says Barcelona made a £15m bid for the centre-half last week, which Liverpool turned down.
But now Manchester City are preparing their own advance for the Denmark international.
City tried to lure the 28-year-old to the Etihad last summer but had their attempts knocked back.
It's understood Agger would be open to a move away but will not push for an exit in the same manner as Luis Suarez.
