To boot, the Telegraph report Liverpool are also interested in numerous world-class strikers, but Monaco's Kylian Mbappe is not one of those targets due to his high asking price.

Spanish newspaper AS say Porto goalkeeper Iker Casillas could join Liverpool.

The 36-year-old is reportedly keen to leave Porto this summer and has offers from the Premier League, Turkey and China.

It is thought that the former Real Madrid goalkeeper considers Liverpool's offer to be the most "solid" and some AS sources say he could have even arranged a pre-contract.

The Englishman is reportedly eager for more first-team starts in the Premier League, and would cost £20m with just a year to run on his current deal at the Emirates.

Finally, James Milner says Liverpool's potential new signings must be dedicated to the long-term project and not just dazzled by a Champions League adventure.

"It's disrespectful to the club if you say the only reason you are going to Liverpool is for Champions League," he said, after the club earned a top-four spot by beating Middlesbrough on Sunday.
