Liverpool are exploring the possibility of a deal for Moises Caicedo as their search for further midfield reinforcements intensifies.
The Reds have yet to lodge a firm bid for the Ecuadorean, who is also wanted by Chelsea.
However, they have made contact with Brighton amid an ongoing struggle to strike a deal with Southampton for Romeo Lavia.
The expectation remains that Caicedo will ultimately end up at Stamford Bridge, with Chelsea‘s pursuit further advanced after several rejected bids this summer.
But Liverpool are working to ensure that they are not left short in the centre of the park after growing frustrated in their attempts to sign Lavia.
