Bayer Leverkusen are ready to battle with Liverpool for highly-rated Belgium defender Toby Alderweireld.
The 24-year-old, who is contracted to Ajax until next summer, is believed to be one of Brendan Rodgers' key transfer priorities as he bids to overhaul the Reds' backline.
Although Kolo Toure will join the club on a free transfer, Rodgers is keen to snap up younger centre-backs and Alderweireld fits the bill.
But the Northern Irishman will face stiff competition from Bundesliga giants Bayer Leverkusen.
Bayer's sporting director Rudi Völler was in Brussels last Friday to keep an eye on the defender during Belgium's 2-1 win over Serbia.
And the former Germany international is likely to step up his interest with a concrete bid - and that could force Rodgers to show his hand in the coming weeks.
