However, a £12m loan bid is also being lined up for Radamel Falcao
The Merseysiders do have a backup plan though as AS Monaco ace Falcao is also on the radar of manager Brendan Rodgers.
RMC reports that it would cost £12m to land the Colombia international on a loan deal after the forward expressed the desire to leave the Stade Louis II.
Falcao became Moanco’s club record signing last summer after completing a £50m switch to the Principality.
