Liverpool FC are locked in a battle with Tottenham for Brazilian winger Willian.
Both clubs have held talks with Anzhi Makhachkala and are willing to meet the Russian outfit's asking price of around £28million.
Much now hinges on the Reds' ability to agree personal terms with the 25-year-old and convince him that Anfield would be the ideal destination.
Willian is considering the rival offers and is expected to make a decision about his future in the next 48 hours.
Aly Cissokho is set to undergo a medical today ahead of completing his season-long loan move to Liverpool from Valencia.
The Reds have the option to sign the French left-back on a permanent basis for around £4million next summer.
The ECHO understands Liverpool have also renewed their pursuit of Sporting Lisbon centre-back Tiago Ilori.
Rodgers was keen to wrap up a deal back in June but talks between the clubs broke down.
The Reds had a bid of around £3million rejected with Sporting demanding more than double that amount.
However, Ilori's refusal to pen a new contract in Portugal has given Liverpool hope that a compromise fee can now be agreed for the 20-year-old.
The Reds were represented at Sporting's game against Arouca yesterday and further discussions were held with the young defender's representatives.
