Luka Vuskovic is attracting interest from Liverpool and Chelsea, with the Croatian international viewed as a defender with significant potential.
Real Madrid are also said to be monitoring the player, while Liverpool have been identified as a possible suitor as they consider their long-term options at centre-back.
The Reds may need to plan for a successor to the ageing Virgil van Dijk and are also reportedly short of defensive depth after losing Ibrahima Konate in the summer.
Chelsea could offer Vuskovic an equally attractive destination because of the club’s commitment to developing young players. The Blues would be expected to provide him with an opportunity to compete for a first-team place immediately.
His arrival could also strengthen a Chelsea defence in which Levi Colwill and Wesley Fofana have been described as unconvincing performers.
