Liverpool are in the mix to sign AC Milan defender Mattia de Sciglio this summer.
TMW says De Sciglio, 24, is about to enter the final 12 months of his AC Milan contract.
And the Italian giants will try to sell him this summer rather than risk losing the player for nothing next year.
Anfield is a possible destination for the defender, who has won 31 caps for Italy.
But they could face stiff competition in his bid to land De Sciglio.
The defender is also said to be a target for Juventus and Napoli as well as Spanish giants Barcelona.
