Liverpool reportedly sent scouts to watch Fiorentina striker Dusan Vlahovic over the weekend.
The Reds were one of a number of club’s believed to have officials in attendance as the 21-year-old Serb lined up against Juventus.
Representatives from Manchester United, Tottenham Hotspur and Newcastle United were also reported to be in attendance as the centre-forward played all 90 minutes.
That’s according to Calciomercato.it, as cited by Liverpool FC News on Twitter.
The report also states that whilst it ‘cannot be ruled out’ Liverpool were keeping an eye on Juventus ace Federico Chiesa, Vlahovic is said to be the focus of attention.
Capped on 12 occasions by Serbia, the towering frontman, tipped to be the ‘best striker‘ over the next few years, has scored 10 times in 13 appearances across all competitions.

It would appear that the secondary race next summer behind the one for Erling Haaland could be for Vlahovic.
Given the eye-watering finances involved in prizing the Norwegian out of Borussia Dortmund, Jurgen Klopp would be wise to switch attention to Florence.
Valued at £45million and under contract until 2023 (Transfermarkt), signing the Serb would appear to be a far more attainable target and one with almost equal levels of potential.
