It is reported that former Wigan Athletic midfielder Paul Scharner is to hold talks with Liverpool FC this week.
With his Latics contract having expired this summer, the 30-year-old is now a free agent.
It appears the Austria international is to meet with Anfield officials to discuss a surprise move to the Merseyside giants.
New Reds boss Roy Hodgson has been a long-standing admirer of Scharner and the player was linked with a move to Fulham when Hodgson was manager there.
Valentin Hobel, the Austria international's agent, said: "Roy Hodgson and Paul Scharner - this is a special relationship.
"Hodgson thinks that Paul's strengths in midfield are better than his attributes in central defence."
He added: "Liverpool would be a dream, of course, but we are in contact with several clubs.
“Because he is a free transfer, he can choose."
