Jose Mourinho is weighing up a move for Liverpool target Tiago Ilori.
The Reds have been negotiating with the the central defender's club, Sporting Lisbon, for several weeks.
Liverpool have had two bids rejected for Ilori who is valued by Sporting at around £8.5million.
They could now see their efforts hijacked by Chelsea although the player is understood to want regular first-team football which could work in Liverpool's favour.
Talented Ilori has a Portuguese mother and a Nigerian father. Spanish club Valencia have shown interest but the player wants to move to the Premier League.
Meanwhile Liverpool could be set to make a move for £7.5million-rated midfielder Jorginho.
The 21-year-old creative midfielder - full name Jorge Luiz Frello Filho - plays for Serie A club Hellas Verona and has represented Italy at Under-21 level.
