Tranmere Rovers are attempting to strike up a closer relationship with Liverpool in order to strengthen this season.
Anfield legend John Barnes (pictured) was recently appointed manager at the League One club, with fellow former Reds player Jason McAteer serving as his assistant.
And McAteer believes Rovers should become close to their Premier League neighbours in more than just a geographical sense.
"It would be daft not to try and exploit some sort of relationship with the likes of Liverpool," the retired defender told LFC Magazine.
"I haven't been in the job long but anyone I've already spoken to at Liverpool has been first class.
"Money is tight at this level. It can be really difficult when you're working on the budgets a club like Tranmere has to.
"We have to work within our means so we would be stupid not to sit down and listen to the likes of Liverpool if they wanted to help in any way or offer some advice."
Also a former Tranmere player, McAteer added that his new club would gladly take on some of Liverpool's exciting prospects on loan in order to assist their development.
He continued, "If they want to lend us players and the quality is there we will be more than happy to take them and help with their football education."
