Spanish goalkeeper Adrian could be sold by Liverpool in January, according to a fresh report.
The Reds have prioritised a midfielder in the winter transfer window, with their current crop having suffered a number of injuries this campaign.
Thiago Alcantara and Arthur Melo have both spent extended periods sidelined through injury, while the contracts of Naby Keita and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain expire in the summer.

In turn, Jurgen Klopp’s side have been scouring the market for midfield reinforcements.
Top of Liverpool’s wish list is Borussia Dortmund and England star Jude Bellingham, while several reports have linked the club to World Cup winner Enzo Fernandez.
However, the Reds will likely have to pay north of £100million to secure the services of either player in January, and so will need to raise transfer funds through player sales.

ESPN claimed the 35-year-old could depart Liverpool, having made just one appearance in all competitions this term in the Reds’ 3-1 Community Shield victory over Manchester City.
The Spaniard has seen his game time greatly limited in recent seasons, with Caoimhin Kelleher having established himself as No. 2 behind Alisson Becker.
The report also suggested that Arthur could return to Juventus in January should it be decided that he won't contribute to Jurgen Klopp's team for the remainder of the season.
The Brazilian signed a season-long loan deal in August, with a £33million option to buy clause included for next summer.

However Arthur’s time on Merseyside has been badly disrupted by injury - he has only made one substitute appearance for the first team.
