Liverpool remain in the frame to sign Bayern Munich utility player David Alaba though Real Madrid are favourites.
The 28-year-old is out of contract in the summer and Madrid have offered a lucrative four year deal but he is still deliberating over his final decision.
Bayern are also still to agree a new contract with midfielder Jamal Musiala, the ex-Chelsea academy product has interest from Premier League clubs.

Alaba has been handed the opportunity to join Zinedine Zidane’s ranks in the summer, but the defender’s father has dismissed claims that the transfer is a done deal.
According to Bild he said: ‘I cannot confirm the reports from Spain. Nothing is fixed or signed yet. There are many interested parties.’
Chelsea and Manchester United are said to be among those vying after the Austrian international’s signature.
Alaba has decided end his stay with the Bundesliga giants at the end of the season after 13 years in the German top-flight.
Alaba is doubtless one of the world’s leading centre-backs, having bagged his second Champions League last season after Bayern Munich’s dominant European run.
He will give Liverpool the defensive stability and depth they require after a series of injuries

He has continued to be a crucial player for Bayern this season and will be a big miss for Hansi Flick’s Bayern Munich side.
Should the 28-year-old decide to join Liverpool, he could add to Jurgen Klopp’s defensive fortress.
Alaba would also provide the Reds with an element of depth as Klopp’s side has struggled with injuries this season.
