Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp is interested in bringing Barcelona starlet Ousmane Dembele to Anfield on loan, according to reports.
Respected French journalist Mohamed Bouhafsi told SFR Sport that Klopp is a huge admirer of the 20-year-old, and that a loan deal could include an option to buy.
Dembele only spent one year with Borussia Dortmund before moving to Barcelona last summer for an initial fee of £96m with future incentives.
He has endured an injury-hit campaign, managing two goals and eight assists in 21 appearances for the Catalan giants.
Mohamed Salah, Sadio Mane and Roberto Firmino have formed a formidable front three for the Reds this season, and Dembele would provide stern competition for a starting spot.
A lack of squad depth is an issue that has been highlighted at times this season, and that is something Klopp will be keen to address in the coming months.
It remains to be seen whether Barcelona would allow the player to leave the club, albeit on a temporary basis, having paid such a significant fee for his servies only last summer.
