Liverpool have lodged a claim with Belgian side Gent over Taiwo Awoniyi, while also setting an eye-watering asking price for the striker.
Awoniyi was loaned to Gent for the season last summer, but struggled to secure regular playing time at the Belgian club.
As a result, the deal was terminated in January and Awoniyi joined another Belgian club, Mouscron, with whom he spent last term on loan.
Liverpool's loan with Gent specified that Awoniyi had to play a set number of games and, according to Belgian magazine Sport/Voetbalmagazine, the Reds have slapped in a claim as it did not happen.
Gent will have to pay Liverpool a set sum as they did not hand Awoniyi a pre-agreed amount of playing time.
The Nigerian's performances at Mouscron have caught the eye and he has interest from a host of sides, meaning Liverpool have now set an asking price for his permanent transfer.
It is claimed that Liverpool want a whopping €15m to sell a player who has never made a senior appearace in a red shirt.
The 21-year-old has scored in seven of his last nine Belgian top flight games for Mouscron.
