Jurgen Klopp reportedly wants to take Marco Asensio to Liverpool.
The Reds will face off against Asensio and Real Madrid in the Champions League final in Kiev on Saturday night.
Asensio's agent recently revealed Real had rejected two bids for the player - and AS report one of those came from Liverpool.
The Reds are said to have made bids for Asensio last summer and in January after selling Philippe Coutinho.
He of course stayed at Real Madrid and Liverpool's failure to land the Spaniard could come back to haunt them.
What Nabil Fekir said when he was directly asked about joining Liverpool as Reds make plan to sign Frenchman
Liverpool have made Nabil Fekir their top summer target, and plan to sign the Frenchman after the Champions League final against Real Madrid on the weekend, writes Mirror Football's Jake Polden.
The Lyon midfielder will set the Anfield club back £60million, but he has been identified as the perfect player to replace Philippe Coutinho.
The Brazilian left the Reds for Barcelona in January for £142million, and despite signing Naby Keita and Virgil van Dijk for a combined £125million, Liverpool are yet to fill Coutinho's boots.
Fekir has enjoyed a brilliant run of form this season, and the 24-year-old has been instrumental in Lyon finishing third in Ligue 1 and reaching the Europa League last 16.
Liverpool want an agreement before the World Cup starts if possible but the time frame is tight to conclude a deal that quickly, with Fekir heading into France's pre-tournament camp.
Saturday's Champions League final in Kiev could be worth £100million, and Liverpool are prepared to spend the money to get the deal for Fekir over the line.
The Frenchman was directly asked about a potential move to Liverpool on RTL on Thursday, and responded with the two words: "Why not?"
He added: "Later there can be discussions with the president, with my entourage, to make a decision. In life, nothing can be forbidden."
Liverpool star James Milner reveals all about Jurgen Klopp's half-time hairdryer
James Milner has praised Jurgen Klopp's management skills: "The best know when to give a rocket and when to put the arm round someone.", writes Mirror Football's Jacob Murtagh.
The German boss has guided the Reds to back-to-back top-four finishes and also to the Champions League final.
Klopp will lead Liverpool into Saturday's final in Kiev and Milner has opened up about his man-management skills.
"There have been times at half-time, we thought he’d come in and go absolutely mental and he hasn’t and it was the right call," Milner told the Times.
"Other times, you weren’t expecting a rocket and you get one. The best managers know when to give a rocket and when to put the arm round someone.
"I love his passion and that he’s there for you every kick. There are times when he might say something because it’s the emotion, but there might be times that he might not agree with you and he goes away, thinks about it and then meets you halfway.
"That’s a high quality needed of the best managers, taking opinions."
