Liverpool is reportedly among the teams interested in signing Johan Bakayoko from PSV Eindhoven.
The 21-year-old has been linked with a move away from the Eredivisie club in recent months after impressing during the first few months of the season.
Bakayoko is said to have already turned down a move to the Saudi Pro League and has his heart set on a move to the Premier League.
The Reds are reportedly considering a summer swoop for Bakayoko, who is also said to be the subject of interest from title rival Arsenal.
Caught Offside says that Bakayoko would likely command a fee of between $52 million and $62 million, and that Newcastle United, RB Leipzig and Borussia Dortmund could also move for him.

Liverpool could be in the market for a new winger this summer, with Mohamed Salah's current contract due to expire at the end of the season and speculation also mounting over the future of Luis Diaz.
The Reds clearly want to tie Salah down to a new deal but Diaz is more dispensable, and Spanish outlet Sport reports that Barcelona is considering a move for the Colombian at the end of the season.
Barca is apparently interested in both Diaz and Alexander Isak, and has been informed by the latter of his desire to move to the Nou Camp, although a deal for Isak is unlikely considering the lofty fee that Newcastle would undoubtedly demand for the 25-year-old.
If Barcelona makes a significant player sale in the summer, then it is said that Isak would be the Catalan club's No.1 choice in the summer, but a deal for Diaz is reportedly deemeda less difficult to do.
Diaz, 28, would obviously command a lower transfer fee than Isak and most likely significantly lower wages too, and Sport reports that he would be "delighted" to move to Catalonia
Diaz's contract at Liverpool is due to expire in the summer of 2027, and his value will likely drop significantly between the summers of 2025 and 2026, which could tempt the Reds to do business this summer.
It was reported by Anfield Watch last week that Diaz has frustrated Slot lately, having followed up his explosive start to the Premier League season, when he scored five goals in five appearances, with just three goals in his last 17 appearances
