Liverpool is reportedly preparing a £12 million swoop for Newcastle United defender Fabricio Coloccini.
The Argentinian has been earmarked as a target by Liverpool boss Kenny Dalglish, who is looking to bolster his defence.
Coloccini has 18 months remaining on his current deal at St. James' Park, and Newcastle boss Alan Pardew is growing concerned that he could lose the 29-year-old.
Liverpool has struggled with defensive injuries this season, and with doubts over the prolonged fitness of Daniel Agger and Martin Skrtel, Dalglish is keen to add Coloccini to the Anfield ranks.
The former Deportivo La Coruna defender is likely to cost Liverpool around £12 million, and has impressed during his time in England.
Should the powerful centre-half leave Newcastle, it would be a massive blow for the club, who bough the player in 2008.
