According to ESPN, Liverpool have made contact with former Manchester United target Frenkie De Jong.

Despite committing his future to Barcelona, the Dutch midfielder has failed to find a place in Xavi's starting eleven. And with the Reds having a never-ending list of injuries, De Jong could help bolster Klopp's midfield.

Liverpool wants to obtain De Jong's services in January and the Catalans would look to offload the 25-year-old to improve their finances.
