The Reds have endured a raft of injuries in the position with Thiago Alcantara joining Curtis Jones, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain and Keita in the treatment room after hobbling off against Fulham on Saturday.

The Croatian ace has been previously linked with a move to Real Madrid and Barcelona so the FA Cup holders may face competition for his signature.

The defensive midfielder joined Inter from Dinamo Zagreb in 2015 and has since amassed a total of 28 goals and 37 assists in 289 appearances.

Brozovic also played a crucial role in Croatia's stunning 2018 World Cup campaign that saw them making it to the final after eliminating England in the semi-finals.
