Liverpool manager Kenny Dalglish is preparing to make a move Barcelona midfielder Seydou Keita once the January transfer window opens for business.
According to reports in The Sun, it is believed Liverpool will have to battle mega-rich Russian club Anzhi Makhackala if they are to acquire the services of the Mali international.
During the course of the summer transfer window Kop boss Dalglish brought in a number of midfield players including Charlie Adam, Stewart Downing and Jordan Henderson.
However it is felt that Dalglish and Liverpool's director of football Damien Comolli are both big fans of Keita and are planning to beat Anzhi to his signature by tabling a £5million move for the 31-year-old.
It seems as though the midfielder would also prefer a move to Anfield over Russia after his quotes a couple of weeks ago.
"Liverpool are a great club and it is fantastic to hear they are interested in me but you know how I feel about Barcelona," he said.
"But we are in football and nothing is an absolute, so let's wait until the end of the season.
"I want to play more games and the Premier League is very attractive and exciting for anyone."
