Hoffenheim are hoping that they will be able to keep hold of midfielder Gylfi Sigurdsson by slapping a £10million price tag on the player who has impressed for Swansea since joining on-loan in January.
The Iceland international moved to the Welsh side at the turn of the year and has scored seven league goals in his 14 appearances for the club, attracting the attention of a number of Premier League sides.
The Daily Mirror has reported that Liverpool boss Kenny Dalglish watch the midfielder in action at the weekend against Bolton, while Everton sent coach Jimmy Lumsden and Manchester United asked Martin Ferguson to report on the youngster.
The paper goes on to explain that while Swansea would also like to keep Sigurdsson, the German side knows that there could be a bidding war and want at least £10m for the 22-year-old.
Liverpool have struggled for goals all season and especially from midfield where Jay Spearing and Stewart Downing have not scored a single league goal, while Jordan Hendeson has just one.
In fact Sigurdsson would be the second top league scorer in the Liverpool side, with Luis Saurez the only man to score more with eight league goals this season.
One factor that could possibly help Liverpool is that the German side are managed by former Red Markus Babbel who enjoyed a successful spell on Merseyside.
