Liverpool have made a move to sign Argentina goalkeeper Sergio Romero from Italian Serie A side Sampdoria.
The Reds are on the lookout for a new goalkeeper following the departure of Pepe Reina to Bayern Munich.
Reina's departure has created space on the wage bill for another custodian to challenge number 1 Simon Mignolet, and Romero is Liverpool's target.
According to Italian daily Gazzetta dello Sport, Liverpool have now lodged a €2m bid for Romero.
The ball is now in Sampdoria's court, but the Italian side are thought to be considering asking for Liverpool defender Sebastian Coates as part of the deal.
