Liverpool are struggling to tempt Lucas Moura to Anfield, with FootMercato reporting that the player wants to stay at Paris Saint-Germain.
Moura faces an uncertain future in the French capital under new boss Unai Emery, who recently joined the club from Sevilla.
Reds boss Jurgen Klopp is still hoping to bring him in, but it will be difficult because the winger is determined not to leave PSG.
Klopp is desperate to add some width to his attack and is under pressure to bring in a big signing, having overseen a hit-and-miss transfer window so far.
With Liverpool also on the hunt for a striker, Moura could potentially kill two birds with one stone, as his goalscoring record is pretty impressive, scoring 13 goals in 32 games last season.
The Brazilian could link up well with his compatriot Philippe Coutinho in attack, and Klopp will no doubt be hoping that signing Moura could convince his current midfield star to stay on Merseyside, as he continues to be linked with a move away.
