Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers is hoping to land his first signing of the summer after entering into negotiations with Juventus misfit Milos Krasic.
The Serbia international was merely a spectator last season as he was forced to watch from the bench as Juventus went unbeaten for the entire season to win the league.
Krasic made just seven appearances and fell out of favour with Antonio Conte, despite playing 33 games the season before and scoring seven goals after moving from CSKA Moscow.
The Daily Mail has reported how Liverpool hope to sign Krasic for £6million and have opened discussions with the Serie A club in order to try and tempt the winger to the Premier League.
Tottenham have previously been linked with the midfielder, in particular in January of this year when he was struggling to get into the Juventus side, however, he decided to stay and battle for his place.
A decision he revealed he regretted earlier this year, telling Vecernje Novosti: "At the end of the transfer window in January, there were offers from Tottenham and Zenit for a loan deal,"
"I decided to decline those options in the belief that I would be given chances at Juventus. That has proven to be a mistake and it would have been better if I had accepted one of those offers."
The Reds are short of options in wide areas after the sale of Dirk Kuyt, while Stewart Downing also failed to impress in his first season with the club.
