Reading defender Alex Pearce is closing in on a switch to Liverpool.
Pearce, 24, is out of contract in the summer and played under Anfield boss Brendan Rodgers in 2009.
The Kop chief needs to replace retirement-bound Jamie Carragher, and Pearce would not cost a penny.
West Brom and Norwich are also keen but the Republic of Ireland defender would jump at the chance of a move to Anfield.
Royals manager Brian McDermott knows the chances of keeping him are slim.
McDermott, who dropped Pearce after a poor display in the 2-1 defeat at Stoke on February 9, said: “We will see where he will be in the summer. At this moment in time nothing looks to be signed.”
