If they fail to sign Romeo Lavia, Liverpool are said to be reviving their interest in Fluminense midfielder Andre.
The Reds are desperate to add strength in depth to their midfield after a flurry of departures has limited their options.
James Milner, Naby Keita, and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain all left at the end of last season when their contracts expired, while Fabinho and Jordan Henderson moved to the Saudi Pro League.
World Cup champion Alexis MacAllister has been signed from Brighton & Hove Albion, but additional midfield reinforcements are still needed if Liverpool is to fight towards the top of the Premier League table.
They appeared to be on the verge of signing Moises Caicedo after having a £110 million bid accepted, but the player preferred to join Chelsea, who agreed to a £115 million deal with Brighton.
Liverpool switched their full attention to Southampton’s Romeo Lavia, presenting a £60 million proposal that was later approved by the Saints.
However, for the second time in as many days, they appear to be losing a transfer target to Premier League rivals Chelsea.
The Belgium international has stated that he would want to join Chelsea, and talks between Chelsea and Southampton over a possible deal are ongoing.
With Lavia appearing to be on his way to Mauricio Pochettino’s side, Liverpool are now considering options.
The Merseyside club is debating whether to restart their pursuit of Brazilian midfielder Andre, according to The Mirror.
