Liverpool reportedly entered the race to sign Chelsea Flop Christopher Nunku.
But the Reds are confronted with competition from Premier League rivals Newcastle, as well as a European super power.
Nunku, 27, has difficulty shining since a relocation of £ 52 million to RB Leipzig Chelsea in 2023.
The 14-time France International joined the back of different knee injuries.
And a disaster struck in the preseason when he hurt the same area again, forcing him to undergo surgery.
Nunku has now been sidelined with a hamstring injury since February.
He has succeeded in scoring only 17 goals in 56 outings for the blues.
And as a result, Foot Mercato claims that Nunku leaves Chelsea at the end of the season.
However, the versatile attacker could stay in the Premier League.
It is thought that Liverpool came forward as shock candidates after he went to the Premier League title in the debut season of Arne Slot.

The Reds can be set to separate from Darwin Nunez.
While the future of Luis Diaz, Diogo Jota and Federico Chiesa also remain unclear.
The ability of Nunku to play everywhere across the front line, as well as in midfield, makes him an attractive signature for Slot.
And if he could get somewhere near the 58 goals, he hit his last two seasons in Leipzig, it would turn out to be an extremely smart signature.
However, Liverpool is not the only English side interested.
Newcastle has also been informed about the situation of Nunku and wants to compile funds for an offer.
But the bait can still be influenced by a return to Germany with Bayern Munich.
The Bundesliga champions tried and managed to sign in Nunku in January.
Thomas Muller leaves Bayern this summer and frees a position for a new attacker who mainly plays through the center of a NO9.
And after his success at the former club Leipzig, plus his struggles in England with Chelsea, Bayern could be the preferred choice of Nunku.
