Liverpool have been put on red alert after Keita Balde Diao indicated he is ready to quit Lazio.

The former Barcelona starlet, 19, was a target for Reds boss Brendan Rodgers in the summer. Lazio did not want to let him go then, but there is strong interest in him from several clubs, with Arsenal also watching developments.

Diao has scored five goals in 16 games for Lazio, but is unhappy at not starting a game this season. He wants to further his career and believes a move to the Premier League will do that.

Lazio were originally reported to have wanted £24million for Diao, but it is understood they have lowered their asking price to £15m.

The powerful Spanish forward scored 47 goals in a single season when loaned out to Barcelona's satellite club, UE Cornella.
