Liverpool manager Kenny Dalglish will be put on red alert after the latest comments from transfer target, Barcelona winger Jeffren.
Jeffren, who is a product of the Barcelona youth system has admitted his future lies elsewhere, having failed to cement a regular spot in Pep Guardiola's side.
The 23-year-old has previously been linked with moves to the Premiership with north London rivals Arsenal and Tottenham keen to acquire the player’s signature.
However it is believed that the Merseyside club is favourites to land the winger. Kop boss Dalglish and the clubs director of football Damien Comolli are both admirers of Jeffren and feel he could be the creative spark needed to provide chances for strikers Andy Carroll and Luis Suarez.
Currently on international duty with the Spain Under 21's in Denmark for the European Under-21 Championships, Jeffren told RAC1: "It is clear that I do not like the idea of leaving Barcelona for Udinese.
"I have spent the past seven years at Barcelona and it was my dream to succeed here.
"I don't think I will make it here, though, and it looks like I have to start looking elsewhere."
Jeffren only has one year remaining on his current deal at the Nou Camp and it is believed he has an £8.3million release clause in his contract which Liverpool are looking to trigger.
Last season Jeffren made 13 appearances for the Spanish Champions and Champions League winners, scoring one goal.
