Liverpool have made contact with Barcelona attacker Ousmane Dembele.

The France international comes off contract in June, with talks over a new deal remaining at deadlock.

Sport says Champions League finalists Liverpool are in contact with Moussa Sissoko, Dembele's agent, this week.

Liverpool have made their move knowing Sadio Mane is in talks with Bayern Munich about a summer move.

Dembele would arrive to replace Mane, though the Reds face competition from PSG for the winger.
