The Reds are set to table an £11m bid for Bayern Munich midfielder Xherdan Shaqiri, and they are now setting their sights on Valencia striker Paco Alcacer.
Alcacer has a proven track record in La Liga, but the Reds would have to stump up £14m for his signature.
Brendan Rodgers looks unlikely to pull off a deal for Ezequiel Lavezzi.
The wantaway PSG striker is set to be punished by the club for missing their warm-weather training camp.
Conflicting reports have emanated, with one suggesting that Lavezzi will stay at PSG when the window closes, while another attests that the frontman is the subject of interest from Valencia.
Liverpool fans have been given some good news with the club close to securing a new lucrative contract for Raheem Sterling.
Though Steven Gerrard will leave Anfield at the end of the season, the Reds will tie Sterling down to a new five-year deal.
Sterling is expected to agree a new deal soon and could earn in excess of £100,000 a week.
