Liverpool are facing stiff competition in their pursuit of Ryad Boudebouz with reports emerging claiming Spanish side Real Betis have made the Sochaux midfielder their top priority.
The Algeria international revealed recently that Liverpool have been monitoring him with director of football Damien Comolli in France to watch him in action on numerous occasions and to talk with the Sochaux president.
The 21-year-old has a number of admirers across Europe, but the Reds have long been considered the favourites for his signature.
However, according to Insidefutbol.com, Betis are big fans of Boudebouz and are prepared to get ahead of the competition by moving for him in January.
Betis regained promotion to La Liga this season and have made a solid start to their time back in the top-flight. However, they are looking to cement their place in the Primera Division and have targeted Boudebouz as a player to help do just that.
The midfielder has 18 months left on his current contract and Sochaux are willing to sell if their asking price of £14.5m is met.
