Liverpool have made contact with Paris Saint-Germain midfielder Adrien Rabiot about a free transfer next summer, claims ESPN.
Rabiot has entered the final 12 months of his current PSG deal and will be free to talk to other clubs about a summer move in January.
PSG head coach Thomas Tuchel wants Rabiot to sign a new long-term deal but his future is far from certain at the club.
Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp failed to sign Rabiot during his time at Borussia Dortmund and wants to prise the midfielder to Anfield.
Tuchel’s side blocked Rabiot’s move to Barcelona in the summer and Rabiot appeals hugely to Liverpool, particularly on a free.
Liverpool signed Naby Keita and Fabinho in pre-season to bolster their midfield options but are still keen on the 23-year-old.
The France international has started PSG’s first four league games this season and scored one goal in that time, garnering a solid WhoScored rating of 7.54.
Of Ligue 1 players to make at least three league appearances this season, only PSG teammates Thiago Silva (85.3) and Marquinhos (79) average more passes per game than Rabiot (77.3).
