Liverpool are interested in signing Juventus centre-back Merih Demiral in January, according to Fanatik.
The 22-year-old has struggled for playing time at the Serie A giants, starting just five league games so far this season.
Demiral could now be available to sign this month, with Liverpool, Tottenham and Leicester City all believed to be monitoring the situation.
The Turkey international could be available for £45million, as the Reds potentially eye up defensive reinforcements.

Monday’s 1-0 defeat at Southampton once again highlighted the need for Liverpool to sign a centre-back in January.
To be playing Jordan Henderson and Fabinho as a defensive pairing is simply not good enough for a team with hopes of winning both the Premier League and Champions League this season, as they continue to struggle with Virgil van Dijk, Joe Gomez and Joel Matip all out injured.
Demiral is a talented young defender, but given his rumoured price tag, Jurgen Klopp would have to be sure about him as an option.
He already has 19 caps for Turkey, however, so he has the experience to come in and be a handy addition straight away.
