Liverpool are interested in Olympique Lyon wing-back Michel Bastos.
Bastos has also been linked with Manchester United and is courting serious interest from Barcelona and Juventus.
French sources claim the Anfield outfit have already made contact with the French side, and that a bid in the region of 17 million could be made by Liverpool boss Kenny Dalglish.
Dalglish is thought to be in the market for a left-sided defender, with Paul Konchesky out-of-favour on Merseyside and set for a summer exit after joining Nottingham Forest on loan for the remainder of the season.
