Liverpool have joined rivals Manchester United in pursuit of Bayern Munich centre-back Jerome Boateng.
Reds boss Brendan Rodgers is reportedly an admirer of Boateng, who spent a season at Manchester City before leaving for Bayern in July 2011.
And reports claim the 25-year-old could be on the move again this summer.
According to German newspaper Bild, Boateng is on Rodgers' shopping list but United boss David Moyes is also interested.Rodgers is also thought to be eyeing up Chelsea left-back Ashley Cole and Inter Milan midfielder Mateo Kovacic.
But either Liverpool or United prising Boateng away from the Allianz Arena appears an uphill challenge.
The German international extended his contract at Bayern until 2018 last December, when he revealed his happiness in Munich.
"I am happy," Boateng said. "FC Bayern are one of the biggest clubs in world football. I want to achieve more success here."
