Liverpool is reportedly interested in signing Crystal Palace midfielder Cheick Doucoure, who is valued at £70 million.
The Reds have made Doucoure their priority target as they continue their search for a quality defensive midfielder.
Liverpool has faced setbacks in their summer transfer window, losing six midfielders and starting the season with only two new additions.
Despite efforts to sign other players, such as Moises Caicedo and Romeo Lavia, Liverpool has been unsuccessful.
As time runs out in the transfer window, Liverpool is moving quickly to secure Doucoure as their new top target.
Doucoure has been impressive at Crystal Palace, known for his ability to break up play and protect the backline.
However, Palace has set a high price tag of £70 million for the midfielder.
Doucoure is open to a move to Liverpool but is also content to stay at Palace, as he still has four years left on his contract.
Other midfield options for Liverpool include Joao Paulinha from Fulham and Thuram from Nice.
