Liverpool have made an offer for left-back Raphael Guerreiro, according to the Portugal international's French club Lorient.
French-born Guerreiro - who is in the Portugal squad for Euro 2016 - is being chased by the Reds and three other clubs this summer, according to Lorient vice-president Alex Hayes, but he says none of them has offered enough money for the 22-year-old.
"No one wants to see Raphael leave, especially the president," Hayes told Ouest France.
He will only be transferred if a club makes an offer that we can't refuse. For the moment four major foreign clubs, including Dortmund and Liverpool, have made an offer.
The fourth one shouldn't take too long to be made [officially] but for the moment none of them satisfy us.
"We're calm. We don't need to sell to balance the books."
Guerreiro, who has won five senior caps for his country to date, joined Lorient from Caen in June 2013 and helped Portugal's Under-21s to second place at last summer's European U21 Championships in the Czech Republic.
Meanwhile, out-of-favour centre-back Martin Skrtel looks set to depart Anfield, with his agent Karol Csonto admitting the 31-year-old Slovakia international defender could be on his way to Turkey.
Besiktas is one of those interested in Martin but we're haven't reached a point where I can confirm Martin is going there, or anywhere else," he told TV Markiza in Slovakia.
"But I can say that it is 90 per cent sure Martin will leave Liverpool, but it is far from closed."
