Kenny Dalglish is eyeing a move for the highly-rated 26-year-old as the Scot searches for a naturally left-sided defender this summer.
Kenny Dalglish is eyeing a move for the highly-rated 26-year-old as the Scot searches for a naturally left-sided defender this summer.
The Merseysiders were forced to play England right-back Glen Johnson on the opposite flank last for the majority of last season as the clubs left-sided options dwindled after Paul Koncheskys loan move to Nottingham Forest and the long-term injury of Fabio Aurelio.
The Reds have been linked a number of left-backs this summer, including Newcastles Jose Enrique and Celtics Emilio Izaguirre who are both valued in excess of £10m.
Magrao first came to Liverpools attention through director of football Damien Comolli, who advised Dalglish that the buccaneering full-back was better value for money than the clubs other left-back targets.
Reports in Russia suggest that Braga in Portugal are also interested in Magrao, a player who has yet to play for Brazil but is believed to have a Portuguese passport that would help him secure a work permit for Liverpool.
Meanwhile, Italian club Cesena are targeting Reds defender Emiliano Insua after he spent last season on loan at Galatasaray.
