Liverpool are reportedly keeping tabs on Atalanta BC midfielder Teun Koopmeiners.
The Dutch international captained AZ Alkmaar at the age of 21, before moving to Italy and earning a place in Louis van Gaal's World Cup squad.
The i reports that the 24-year-old is on the Reds' radar, as a result of Jurgen Klopp's assistant Pepijn Lijnders having a growing influence on recruitment.
Borussia Dortmund's Jude Bellingham is understood to be the club's number one target, however with the contracts of Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, Naby Keita and James Milner all expiring in the summer, Liverpool are expected to be in the market for more than one midfielder.
According to Tuttomercato, Atalanta are unwilling to sell the midfielder in the January transfer window, unless they receive an 'unrefusable offer'.
The 15-cap international has eight goals in 58 appearances for La Dea, with four goals and two assists in 16 Serie A outings so far this season.
