Liverpool are keeping tabs on Barcelona fullback Martin Montoya's situation.
Sport says the Reds are looking for a long-term replacement for Glen Johnson, who is expected to leave the club at the end of the season, and Montoya fits the bill.
He could depart the Nou Camp as early as January, with Spanish press reporting that it is a case of 'when' and not 'if' he was to leave the Catalan side.
Liverpool are named as one of the most likely sides to sign the full-back, but they will face stiff competition from other European sides.
