Liverpool are keeping Bayern Munich midfielder Mark van Bommel waiting.
The Daily Mail says Liverpool showed an initial interest in the 33 year-old but made it clear they would have to offload bodies from their midfield first before considering taking on another ageing player.
Van Bommel may be better than they have but the policy at Anfield now is to invest more wisely with sell-on value and quality at the fore.
The player's agent, Mino Raiola, confirmed the interest of Liverpool yesterday.
