Monaco would find it difficult to turn down an offer of €100m from Liverpool for Thomas Lemar, according to Sky Sports News HQ.
Liverpool are in the process of signing Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain from Arsenal, but it is claimed they still want Lemar, for whom they have seen Monaco turn down proposals from Merseyside in recent days.
Monaco's official position remains that Lemar is not for sale as they have let too many players leave the Stade Louis II already this summer.
But it is claimed that if €100m was put in front of Monaco, the Ligue 1 champions would find it tough to say no.
Liverpool's latest bid was claimed to have come in at around the €80m mark, including bonuses, and it is unclear whether the Reds would consider paying €100m for Lemar.

The Reds are also in the hunt for defensive reinforcements as they continue their admiration of Southampton centre-back Virgil van Dijk.
And any successful move for Van Dijk could eat up a large portion of Liverpool's transfer budget.
