Idrissa Doumbia’s impressive performance for Sporting CP in a pre-season friendly against Liverpool has led to the European champions to become interested in him, according to Record.
The Portuguese newspaper claims that the Reds are in hot pursuit of the 21-year-old, but view him as a potential signing for the future rather than this summer as Jurgen Klopp is already satisfied with his defensive midfield options.
Record claims that Liverpool are now set to keep close watch over Doumbia and it is understood that they contacted Sporting after the 2-2 draw at Yankee Stadium this week to ask questions about the Ivorian midfielder.
Sporting signed Doumbia from Akhmat Grozny in January after he agreed a deal which has a release clause worth £53.8million.
