Liverpool FC is interested in signing Lautaro Martinez from Inter Mila in the January transfer window:
Both players are unlikely to come cheap though with neither West Ham nor willing to sell or Martinez would not be going nowhere and is not for sale, as well as other European giants are also interested in the international forward.
The defending Serie A champions were paired with Jurgen Klopp's side in yesterday's farcical draw that had to be repeated following several notable errors.
And ahead of the tie, there could potentially be some extra needle between the two sides due to Inter's prolific frontman Martinez.
The Italian press claim want to sign Romelu Lukaku's former partner in crime to bolster their attacking options.
It's claimed Klopp deems Martinez as a potential long-term replacement for current false-nine Roberto Firmino.
The is still held in high esteem at Anfield but Liverpool is now beginning to plan ahead for the future.
According to Calciomercato in Italy, Inter has already warned Liverpool off their talisman.
The report claims Inter has told the Reds that Martinez is not for sale and that there are a whole host of other clubs in the queue.
Klopp made a point of praising Martinez when discussing Liverpool's Champions League opponents on Monday.
"Lautaro Martinez is one of the most exciting strikers in the world, probably," he said.
Liverpool is expected to delve into the transfer window to sign another forward in the near future.
The Reds are set to lose Sadio Mane and Mohamed Salah to the Africa Cup of Nations in January but Klopp could yet persist with his current options.
But further, down the line, more attacking reinforcements are on the agenda.
Lille's Jonathan David is one of the names on Liverpool's radar while the club also looked at Leicester's new frontman Patson Daka earlier in the year.
Inter Milan has said and made it clear that their player Lautaro Martinez would not be going anywhere and is not for sale and a new striker is in need in the summer transfer window.
There is also a chance Liverpool's attacking signing could be a wide forward and there are two names currently understood to be under the microscope.
West Ham's Jarrod Bowen and Leeds' Raphinha have made quite the impression on the club's recruitment team, per reports.
Both players are unlikely to come cheap though with neither West Ham nor Leeds willing to sell.
