Liverpool are reportedly considering a summer move for Real Betis defender Aissa Mandi.
The Reds are expected to be in the market for a new centre-back ahead of the 2020-21 campaign as Dejan Lovren is likely to leave this summer in search of pastures new.
According to Estadio Deportivo, Mandi has emerged as a target for the Premier League champions, with the 28-year-old expected to leave Betis in the upcoming transfer window.
The Algeria international's contract in Seville is due to expire next summer, and the report claims that it would be a 'miracle' if the defender penned a new deal.
Mandi has spent the last four years with Betis, making 141 appearances in all competitions, including 30 outings during the 2019-20 campaign.
Arsenal have previously been credited with an interest in the former Reims youngster.
