Liverpool have made a £17.5m bid for AC Milan striker Mario Balotelli, according to reports in Italy.
Brendan Rodgers' side are searching for a new striker after selling Luis Suarez to Barcelona.
Liverpool had been exploring the option of taking Monaco striker Radamel Falcao on loan for the season, but that move appears to be dead in the water.
As a result, according to Sportmediaset, Rodgers has now turned his attention to former Manchester City forward Balotelli - despite suggesting earlier this month he was not interested in him.
The Italy international had previously been linked with a summer move to Arsenal, although their interest has now cooled, making Liverpool the front-runners for the 24-year-old's signature.
