Liverpool have failed with an opening bid for Dinamo Zagreb attacker Marko Pjaca.
Gazzetta dello Sport says Liverpool are leading the chase for the 21-year-old and made a £12.2m bid last week.
But they state that Dinamo rejected their offer and are holding out for at least £16m.
Liverpool do have a deal in place for Sadio Mane.
The Southampton attacker should rubberstamp his £30 million move later today.
