Liverpool are eyeing Leicester City midfielder Riyad Mahrez.
The Independent says Liverpool are plotting a move for Mahrez if they can't land Thomas Lemar.
The Reds are preparing for life without Philippe Coutinho, with Barcelona set to submit a mammoth bid for the Brazilian's services this summer.
Monaco midfielder Lemar is Liverpool's first choice replacement for Coutinho if he leaves.
But Mahrez is the back-up choice.
