Liverpool are weighing up meeting the buyout clause in the contract of Sevilla defender Diego Carlos.

Hit by a raft of defensive injuries, Reds boss Jurgen Klopp has found himself short of options and is weighing up whether to enter the market this month.

Mundo Deportivo says Carlos is on Liverpool's radar, with his contract carrying a €75m buyout clause.

Should Liverpool make a move, Sevilla will be receptive, despite Carlos' status within coach Julen Lopetegui's plans.

Sevilla would be willing to sell Carlos for the right price - particularly with high hopes swirling around young defensive teammate Jules Kounde.
