Brendan Rodgers will increase his efforts to land Victor Moses on a season-long loan from Chelsea after Jose Mourinho brought in yet more competition for his place in the Blues team.
Chelsea are set to leave Moses out of their travelling squad for Friday's UEFA Super Cup clash with Bayern Munich in Prague, increasing speculation the Nigerian could head north to Anfield this season.
Mourinho revealed he does not want to sell any of his players with the transfer window closing on Monday, but admitted some could leave on loan deals.
Anzhi winger Willian has completed his £32m move to Chelsea, while Mourinho is set to land another wide-man in the shape of Porto's Christian Atsu.
And that looks set to threaten the chances of first-team football for Moses, who has been heavily linked with Liverpool in recent days.
"The point is not to sell, the point is I want a 22-player squad," Mourinho said. "So if somebody comes... Do we need to sell? No, we don't.
"Do we need to loan, probably yes because I don't like to work with big squads, I like to work with a small group of players and I think 22 is a perfect number to answer to our needs in four different competitions, and at the same time to leave the door open for some kids to come out and train with us, to be selected in a few matches."
