Liverpool have several midfield options under consideration as they prepare for future transfer windows, with manager Andoni Iraola yet to identify specific January targets.
Iraola has previously indicated that the club will assess its position before deciding on potential moves.
Speaking to Sky Sports in September, he said: “When the January market opens, we will see where we are.”
Journalist Lewis Steele has reported that a move for Monaco midfielder Lamine Camara remains a genuine possibility, although no agreement has been confirmed.
Camara had been close to joining Chelsea, but the proposed transfer collapsed on deadline day.
Liverpool also like Roma midfielder Manu Kone as a potential option for 2027, according to David Ornstein.
Meanwhile, the Reds have been linked with another young talent in France.
According to Get French Football News (GFFN), Liverpool and Aston Villa are monitoring Le Havre teenager Djibril Ouziad.
The 17-year-old France youth international plays as a right-wing-back and has attracted attention from the two Premier League clubs.
GFFN understands that he is likely to leave Le Havre next summer, regardless of whether the club remain in Ligue 1.
Ouziad emerged as a first-team option over the summer and has made nine appearances for Le Havre this season. He signed his first professional contract in September, committing his future to the club until 2030.
He also made his debut for the France Under-18s earlier this season.
Le Havre are currently bottom of Ligue 1 with two points and no wins. They suffered a 2-0 home defeat to Lorient on 8 November under interim manager Jair Karam.
The club’s difficult situation followed the suspension of head coach Didier Digard by owners Blue Crow on 31 October, a day after a 5-1 home defeat to Paris Saint-Germain left them with two points from nine matches.
President Jean-Michel Roussier resigned, while sporting director Demba Ba also left his position, according to L’Equipe.
