Liverpool are tracking £9m-rated Italy international midfielder Antonio Candreva, according to reports in Italy.
.
Italian newspaper Corriere della Sera claims the Lazio ace has emerged as a January transfer target for Liverpool boss Brendan Rodgers.
.
The 28-year-old is a regular for Italy and featured at the Confederations Cup last year as his country made the semi-finals.
.
He is expected to play at the World Cup this summer, and the report claims a bid in the region of £9m could be enough to take him from Rome to Liverpool.
.
The Reds are expected to be busy in the January window, with Rodgers keen to carry the club’s momentum into the New Year.
.
They currently sit fourth in the Premier League table, six points off Arsenal in top spot.
.
But realistically, Rodgers’ remit this year is to consolidate a top four place and secure a vital place in next year’s Champions League.

Liverpool take on Aston Villa on Saturday evening at Anfield in the Premier League.
