Liverpool will have scouts in attendance on Tuesday when Bosnia take on Austria as they make yet another check on Miralem Pjanic.

Roma midfielder Pjanic is believed to be the Reds' number one transfer target for the summer having earmarked him as a possible successor to current skipper Steven Gerrard, who will leave Anfield at the end of the season.

Roma are desperate to keep hold of Pjanic and have previously told Liverpool they will need to pay a fee of £37million if they want to take him away from the Stadio Olimpico, putting the brakes on manager Brendan Rodgers' transfer plans.

Reports last week indicated Pjanic is ready to call time on his four-year stay with the Serie A outfit though, and that has given the Reds renewed hope they can do a deal for the talented 24-year-old.

The Merseyside outfit have therefore sent scouts to watch Pjanic in action for his nation Bosnia when they face Austria in a friendly in Vienna.

Liverpool will not be alone in having representatives at the international friendly, with reports from Bosnia suggesting Manchester United, Borussia Dortmund and Inter Milan will all have scouts in attendance.
