Liverpool plan talks this weekend over a £10 million deal for Charlie Adam.
The Anfield club are said to be tabling a £10m offer for the 25-year-old midfielder, aimed a seeing off interest from Aston Villa.
Manchester United could also enter the market for Adam, who is a fan of the Old Trafford club.
But Liverpool are now firm favourites to land the man they bid £8m for in January, with Blackpool chairman Karl Oyston expected to meet Anfield director of football Damien Comolli tomorrow, according to the Blackpool Gazette.
