Liverpool are watching Martin Terrier's situation at Rennes.
The Reds are interested in Terrier as Roberto Firmino is now inside the final year of his contract.
L'Equipe says Liverpool could target Terrier, 25, who is also being monitored by fellow Premier League clubs Leeds United and West Ham United.
The Frenchman contributed 21 goals and a further four assists in Ligue 1 last season as Rennes finished fourth and qualified for the Europa League group stages.
Links for the Reds to bolster their forward options come as Firmino is still yet to make a decision on his Anfield future.
