Juventus have also been monitoring the Porto star, 25, who has emerged as one of the top left-backs in Europe since quitting Inter Milan in 2016.
Liverpool are looking for more proven defenders, even though Scotland ace Andy Robertson enjoyed a breakthrough season on the left.
Fellow left-back Alberto Moreno seems on the way out after failing to regain his place following injury.
