Liverpool have joined the transfer scramble for Wolfsburg striker Edin Dzeko.
While reluctant to sell Fernando Torres, Liverpool are sounding out potential replacements for the Spaniard, says the Telegraph.
Contact is believed to have been made with the German club Wolfsburg, now managed by Steve McClaren, over the future of their striker Dzeko who is believed to be admired by Liverpool's new manager Roy Hodgson.
Negotiations for the Bosnian, who has previously also attracted interest from Chelsea, to move to Manchester City are at an advanced stage although a fee is yet to be agreed.
If Liverpool were to sell Torres for £50 million or more then it would give them the funds to purchase Dzeko and although they would not be able to out-bid City it could well be that the 23-year-old would prefer a move to the Merseyside club.
