Kayode is regarded as one of the best young full-backs in Serie A and he has been tipped to secure a bigger challenge soon.

The Reds have been monitoring his progress for some time and Corriere dello Sport claim that the club have genuine interest in landing his services.

The 20-year-old could be seen as a replacement for Alexander-Arnold, who could leave Liverpool on a free transfer next summer.

The Reds graduate has yet to be convinced over a renewal and the Merseyside giants are running out of time to agree fresh terms.

Real Madrid are keeping a close eye on the situation and they are prepared to discuss a pre-contract with him at the turn of the year.

Liverpool are well aware of the interest from the European Champions and there is acceptance that their prized asset could leave soon.
