Liverpool are interested in signing France forward of Congolese descent Jean-Philippe Mateta.
The English Premier League champions have reportedly contacted Crystal Palace to inquire about the availability of the forward this summer.
It is understood that the Premier League giants reportedly met with the Frenchman and his entourage in Paris.
They plan to swoop in for a striker this summer to strengthen their squad for the upcoming 2025/26 football season.
The Reds are eyeing a new frontman this summer and view Mateta as a strong candidate following his impressive campaign.
The 28-year-old featured in 46 matches across all competitions last season, netting 17 goals and providing four assists.
French media reports suggest that an offer in the region of €50–60 million could tempt Palace into selling.
However, the London club may be reluctant to part ways with Mateta as they prepare to make their European debut in the UEFA Europa Conference League.
Besides Liverpool, Mateta is a transfer target of Italian Serie A side AC Milan.
