David de Gea reportedly signed a contract extension at Manchester United before the club pulled out, with Dean Henderson described as a "potential avenue" to becoming their new No 1.
Henderson impressed during his loan spell at Nottingham Forest last season having made important saves for the Reds earlier in the campaign before picking up a season-ending injury in January.
It is his performances in the first few months of the 2022/23 season which have led the club to try and sign him this summer, as they look to strengthen their goalkeeping department. Wayne Hennessey is currently the Reds' only senior keeper, although they do still have Ethan Horvath on their books but his future remains unclear.
