Manchester City is the more likely destination for RB Leipzig defender Josko Gvardiol, according to reports.
According to Dean Jones, VfL Wolfsburg defender Micky van ve Ven would be a realistic arrival at Anfield this summer but for the highly-rated Croatian international, if he was to depart, it would be to the Etihad Stadium.
The Reds' focus is on the midfield having already acquired Alexis Mac Allister from Brighton & Hove Albion. Khephren Thuram, Gabri Veiga and Ryan Gravenberch are all a list of contenders to follow the Argentine through the door as Jurgen Klopp eyes reinforcements.
