Liverpool are planning a pre-contract offer for Barcelona fullback Martin Montoya.
The Spain international is off contract in June and yet to hold serious talks about a new deal with Barca management.
Liverpool boss Brendan Rodgers, having snapped up Montoya's former Barca teammate Luis Alberto and ex-Celta Vigo striker Iago Aspas in the summer, is happy to continue shopping in Spain.
The Reds can secure Montoya to a pre-contract from January 1 ahead of welcoming him to Anfield in June on a Bosman.
