Liverpool are moving for Porto fullback Jose Bosingwa.
The Mirror says Bosingwa, 25, wants a move to the Premier League this summer with Aston Villa and Manchester United also interested.
But Reds boss Rafa Benitez has made the first move and is in pole position to sign the £8million-rated defender.
Bosingwa said: "This summer is the best moment for me to leave for a top European club."
