Brendan Rodgers is hoping to further bolster his Liverpool squad with the signing of Benfica defender Lorenzo Melgarejo.
Rodgers is targeting the 22-year-old left-back on a season-long loan with a view to a permanent move.
As a Paraguay international, Melgarejo would require a work permit for any transfer to be ratified by the authorities.
However, Rodgers is an admirer of the defender - who has also been tracked by Arsenal and Fenerbahce this summer - and believes he can provide genuine competition to Jose Enrique at left-back.
Melgarejo, who played against Chelsea in the Europa League final last season, began his career as a winger before being converted to a defender by Benfica coach Jorge Jesus.
