Aston Villa winger Stewart Downing is hoping to complete a move to Liverpool in the coming days.
The Sun says he will get his dream move to Liverpool - once they match Aston Villa's £20million price tag.
But if the Reds continue to try and land him on the cheap, the England winger faces having to try and force the transfer himself by slapping in a demand to go.
Kenny Dalglish is desperate for an out-and-out wide man to provide the ammunition for giant striker Andy Carroll next term.
Yet Liverpool's valuation falls around £5m below Villa's - and has so far left Downing in limbo.
Now the 26-year-old could find himself forced into asking for a move if the two clubs fail to reach an agreement.
