Liverpool are ready to bid for Real Betis defender Aissa Mandi.

Reports in Spain suggest the newly crowned Premier League champions are monitoring the situation of the 28-year-old Algeria international.

Mandi could be available for as little as £10million as Betis look to raise funds following the financial impact of the coronavirus pandemic and the disruption it has caused.

Jurgen Klopp's side are in the market for defensive reinforcements this summer, as they search for experienced cover for flying full-backs Andy Robertson and Trent Alexander-Arnold.

Mandi's versatility is believed to be an attractive proposition for the Reds, who also value cover at the centre of defence, says the Daily Mail.
