Stephen Warnock is poised to return to Liverpool after accepting he has little future at Aston Villa, according to a report.
The England left-back has lost his place in the Villa first team and manager Gerard Houllier has indicated he is free to leave.
Blackburn Rovers were keen to sign the 29-year-old but it now seems that his destination will be Liverpool, reports the Daily Mail.
The Reds have asked to take Warnock on loan for the rest of the season and the player has apparently been told he can move to Anfield.
Liverpool boss Kenny Dalglish views Warnock, who began his career with the Reds, as the answer to his team's left-back problem.
England right-back Glen Johnson moved across the defence to fill the role during the 2-1 defeat at Blackpool in midweek, but Dalglish believes he needs a more permanent replacement for Roy Hodgson favourite Paul Konchesky.
Aston Villa, who completed the transfer of Cameroon midfielder Jean Makoun from Lyon this morning, plan to sign a replacement for Warnock in the next few days.
Wigan Athletic's Maynor Figueroa is believed to be Houllier's preferred choice.
