However, according to Calciomercato.it, the winger has also emerged as a target for Ole Gunner Solskjaer’s Besiktas.
The former Manchester United winger wants to sign a winger in the summer, and Besiktas are interested in signing the Liverpool star ahead of next season.
Besiktas have made exploratory contacts to assess the possibility of taking the winger to Turkey in the ongoing transfer window.
Liverpool would prefer to sell him, and an offer worth £15m could trigger his exit from Anfield this summer.
