Inter Milan are reportedly preparing to make a move for Liverpool target Naby Keita next summer.
The Reds have been strongly linked with a move for the Guinea international, but have seen a series of bids rejected by RB Leipzig this summer.
That has led to Jurgen Klopp shelving his plans to sign the 22-year this summer, with the intention of making a fresh bid next summer.
But according to calciomercato.com , they will face competition from Inter, who have been prevented from making a move this summer due to Financial Fair Play regulation.
